Why the Canycom CMX1404 is a great mower for NZ Slopes

New Zealand is not short on hills. From the rocky slopes of the Port Hills near Christchurch to the rolling lifestyle blocks of the Waikato, many properties have slopes. A standard ride on mower isn’t built for this kind of work. It lacks the safety, power, and stability needed to handle steep and uneven ground. A specialist machine is the only answer. The Canycom CMX1404 is a purpose built mower, designed to handle the challenging terrain found on many New Zealand properties.

Stability and Safety on an Angle

Safety is the first thing to consider on a slope. The Canycom CMX1404 is engineered with a very low centre of gravity. Its ultra low seating position and a wide, long wheelbase keep it stable on an incline. This design means you can work on slopes up to 25 degrees with confidence, which is a big deal when your property is on a hillside. This stability is why contractors and lifestyle block owners around the country choose this machine for their steep properties.

Power to Get the Job Done

The Canycom isn't just a mower; it’s a brush cutter. Its mechanical 4WD system provides positive traction, particularly when you’re going up or down a steep bank. This is a significant advantage over other mowers with hydraulic drives. When the going gets slippery or rough, you can engage the differential lock to ensure all four wheels are pulling hard.

This power is matched with a shaft driven cutting deck. There are no belts to slip or snap when you hit thick grass, gorse, or scrub. It delivers direct power from the engine to the cutting deck, allowing it to cut through material that would choke a conventional mower.

A Smart, Durable Machine

The CMX1404 is built to last. It’s engineered in Japan and designed for tough conditions, with a reinforced steel frame. For a machine with this much power, it’s also compact. The hydrostatic drive and tight turning radius allow it to handle open paddocks and get into tight spots around trees or fence lines.

For anyone who has a property with a slope or rough ground, the Canycom CMX1404 is a sound investment. It’s a tool that provides the safety, power, and reliability needed to get the job done properly and efficiently.
