Countax Repair & Servicing
Countax makes premium garden tractors and ride-on mowers, built in the UK. A step up from standard ride-ons, Countax machines feature powered grass collectors, scarifier attachments, and brush systems. Paul services Countax garden tractors for customers across Greater Manchester.
Countax garden tractors are premium machines — a cut above your average ride-on. Paul services several across Greater Manchester and the High Peak, including popular used B255 4WD and older C/B series. They're reliable but the powered collector system adds complexity (belts, gearboxes). Most common job is collector drive belt replacement and hydrostatic transmission servicing. Paul has seen gearbox failures just outside warranty on some 4WD models. These are machines worth repairing rather than replacing — they hold their value well. Shared parts with Westwood and Stiga group equivalents common.
Service Intervals
Annual service essential — these are complex machines with more systems than a standard mower. Powered collector and PTO systems need checking each season. Oil change, belt inspection, and blade condition check at minimum.
Parts & Supply
Countax is now part of the Stiga group. Parts for current and recent models are available through dealers. Older Countax models can need specialist sourcing — Paul has contacts who stock legacy parts.
