Key Benefits for New Zealand Conditions

Compact but Powerful
Fitted with a commercial-grade Honda GX390 engine, the CMX1404 punches well above its weight thanks to the shaft driven cutter deck and mechanical AWD system. Perfect for operators needing 4WD capability without the size or price of larger mowers.

Built for Slopes & Scrub
Rated for safe operation up to 25°, the CMX1404 takes on steep banks, rough paddocks, and thick vegetation with confidence. Its ultra low seating position and low centre of gravity provide exceptional hillside stability, making it ideal for New Zealand conditions.

Tight Turning & Total Control
With a compact 975mm cutting width, tight 1.9m turning radius, and selectable 2WD/4WD with dash-mounted diff lock, you can easily navigate around trees, through gateways, and across slopes with full control and traction.
