Great mower

published

Great mower goes anywhere on our 10 acre hilly property - rides down the sides of the creek bed as long as I hang onto the side handles - even managers the smaller surface rocks ok - have owned it for several years (I was probably the first in the Kingston Tasmania area to buy one) and only reversed the blades once. Sometimes have to lock the rear diff to get out of the soft ground after heavy rain - once had to pull it out with the winch on the 4wd but that was my fault. If we had purchased this before the Chinese 45HP 4wd tractor with slasher we would not have purchased the tractor - have sold the slasher and never use the tractor for mowing as it could not handle the turns on the sides of the hills. Would be better with larger tyres.

Purchased in November 2021.

A workhorse! But with small faults.

published

This is a machine! Effectively you're riding a slasher in 4wd go-cart form. It goes practically anywhere and not just slashes but mulches. Even small saplings and rocks that you don't intend to run over. Very economical too. Fires fire goes on one tank. Small issues with small parts failing and it collects dust quickly which affects running and needs cleaning but it eats bushes and ground flora and makes small work of a paddock and acreage.

Was concerned about cost initially, but now do not regret the purchase at all.

I have slopes and heavy clay soil and needed a 4wd tank to do the job. The CMX186 does this beautifully. I can do about 2 acres of 35 degree slopes with grass over 1m high and this machine smashes through it in much less time than you think it would. It is very stable on the slopes and surprisingly fuel efficient. I also use this machine as a ride on mulcher. As we bought a derelict property and need to cut a lot of tree limbs we ended up with piles of branches which the razorback destroys in minutes. I do not regret the purchase of this machine for one moment. It is a labour saving device that gives you back your time and it is fun smashing mother nature back to the boundary of your property.

Questions & Answers

Julie H.

Julie H.asked

My revers/accelerator pedal on my Razorback CMX186 just failed (bent I think) while I was mowing and I could not slow or stop it with the pedal and I ended up driving through a wire (fortunately not barbed-wire) fence breaking the wire with my forehead. The only way I could stop the mower was to turn the motor off. I have emailed my local mower shop but as it is ANZAC Day I won’t get a reply until at least tomorrow. I see from the Internet that it is recognised that the CMX186 has a weakness in the metal of the accelerator/reverse pedal. Could you tell me please how will this be fixed for me? That is, will the whole mechanism be replaced? Can you also tell me if I have to pay for this or is it fixed free of charge because it is a design flaw?

Hello Julie,
Thank you for your question. The failure you have described isn't consistent with the few number of bent pedals we have experienced. Bent reverse pedals are a result of excess force being applied to the reverse pedal, which result in a lack of max reverse speed, not what you have described. Could you please contact us direct on 02 6923 0000 and we will work through this with you?
Thank you

I was mowing flat ground with just grass on it. What ‘excess force’ could occur in just taking my foot of the accelerator and trying to reverse as I was tidying up around a tree near my fenceline?

Julie H.
Julie H.

I would like to have my questions answered online as I think everyone else needs to know how this will be addressed. It is interesting that you say it must be because of ‘excess force’ applied to the reverse pedal, where as the local dealer when he called today in response to the email I sent yesterday was that I must have ‘smashed into something’.

Fred Qldasked

We have had a demonstraion and we are considering a CMX186 for our 2 acre steepish property having read the reviews below we have a couple of questions.
Q1 Why does your machine headings to replies to problems not relate to the model of the owner
ie: Owner CMX 186 and your reply heading is for model CMX 227

Q2 From what Chasis / Engine Serial Numbers of model CMX 186 have the modifications to:-
(a) the strengthened foward / reverse pedal
(b) the rubber protectors for the air filter and starter motor.
(c) what if any is the extra price of the seat with arms
(Note we were unable to log into your suggested area re seats)

Thanks

Hi Team

Not sure why the questions where confusing:

Q1. The canycom replies are confusing, We were looking for information on the 186 but the replies are all headed 227 : WHY?

Q2. The canycom owner reports and questions clearly indicate that:-

(a) there were problems with the forward reverse pedal bending, the canycom reply indicates the pedal has been strengthened:
From which manufacturers CMX 186 serial number / Chassis/ engine number was this modified part fitted?

(b) There were problems with the air filter clogging with dirt and dust. The canycom reply indicates the a rubber protector was fitted
From which manufacturers CMX 186 serial number / Chassis/ engine number was this modified part fitted?

(c) There were problems with grass jamming the starter motor, The canycom reply indicates the a rubber protector was fitted
From which manufacturers CMX 186 serial number / Chassis/ engine number was this modified part fitted?

We wish to know this so we are sure we are purchasing a CMX186 which has all the current modifications fitted.

Thanks

Hello Fred,

I have cmx186 and need to replace the rear tyre. Can someone please advise which nuts to remove to take off the wheel?

Razorback AustraliaRazorback

Hello Wayne,

There are two different nuts on the Razorback Wheels. The smaller Silver ones hold the two parts of the rim together and there is 6 on the back wheels and 4 on the front. The larger gold ones hold the wheel to the hub on the machine and there are 4 on the back and 4 on the front.
I trust this helps? If you have any further questions I would recommend you take your machine to your closest dealer.
Thank you.
The Razorback Team.
