In 1985, the Capper family and Farmgard discovered the Celli family in Italy, who had been manufacturing top-tier rotary hoes since 1955. Their product range included rotary hoes, power harrows, and other PTO cultivation machinery that redefined the standard in New Zealand and Australia.
Features like two-year warranties, high-grade steels, lower horsepower requirements, and fully waterproof bearing systems helped Farmgard — with its renowned service and backup take Celli to the number one position in the New Zealand and Australian cultivation market, a position it still holds today.
