Canycom CMX2408 Ride-on Brushcutter is designed for users who need serious cutting power for regular work in heavy growth, steep ground and dusty conditions.
It sits above the CMX1810 in the range, bringing a higher-output Honda GX690 engine, improved air filtration and a heavier, more stable build, while stopping short of the additional safety systems found on the CMX2406.
Built for heavy, regular brushcutting
The CMX2408 is aimed at users who are cutting tough ground as part of their normal workload, not as an occasional tidy-up. It’s built to deal with long grass, brambles, bracken and dense weeds across large areas where lighter machines start to struggle or feel overworked.
This is the point in the Canycom range where power and durability become the priority. If the CMX1810 does the job but feels like it’s working hard in thicker growth, the CMX2408 is the natural step up.
Honda GX690 power with improved air filtration
At the heart of the CMX2408 is the Honda GX690 V-twin, a high-output engine chosen for its ability to handle sustained load. It delivers the extra torque needed when cutting brambles, woody growth and dense vegetation that can bog down smaller machines.
The addition of a Donaldson air filtration system is particularly relevant for this type of work. In dusty, dry conditions or when cutting debris-heavy growth, improved filtration helps protect the engine and reduce downtime between services.
4WD traction with differential lock
The CMX2408 uses selectable 4WD backed up by a differential lock, giving dependable traction on slopes, soft ground and uneven terrain. This setup is designed to keep the machine moving predictably rather than relying on momentum or wheelspin.
With a rated stability angle of 25°, it’s clearly intended for bank work and challenging ground, provided it’s used with sensible judgement based on conditions.
Ground clearance and tyre setup for rough terrain
Large tyres and increased ground clearance help the CMX2408 work over ruts, roots and uneven surfaces without grounding out. This is particularly useful in orchards, woodland edges and unmanaged areas where the surface isn’t flat or predictable.
Controlled hydrostatic drive
The hydrostatic transmission gives smooth, continuously variable control, with high and low speed ranges to suit different conditions. Low range is ideal for heavy cutting and slopes where control matters most, while high range allows you to cover ground efficiently when conditions allow.
Operator position and practical design
The low seating position improves stability and visibility, especially when working under trees, alongside obstacles or close to banks. Combined with the suspension seat, it makes long sessions more manageable without overcomplicating the machine.
Where the CMX2408 fits in the Canycom range
The CMX2408 is the power-focused option in the lineup.
- Step down to the CMX1810 if your work is regular but growth isn’t consistently heavy or woody.
- Step up to the CMX2406 if you need additional safety systems, rollover protection and contractor-focused features.
For many professional users, the CMX2408 hits the balance between outright cutting ability and sensible complexity.
Suffolk Mowers support, setup and aftersales
Machines like the Canycom CMX2408 are bought to work hard, often in poor conditions, so proper setup and support matter. Suffolk Mowers provides straight advice before purchase to make sure this model is the right fit for the type of growth, terrain and frequency of use you’re dealing with.
We support the CMX2408 throughout its working life, from parts supply and servicing to practical advice when conditions change or workloads increase. If you’re deciding between the CMX1810 below it or the CMX2406 above it, we’ll base that guidance on real-world use rather than simply pushing the highest-spec option.
The aim is simple: fewer surprises after delivery and a brushcutter that earns its keep in the conditions it was bought for.
