Pichon Adds SV10R and SV14 to SV Slurry Tanker Range
French manufacturer Pichon has expanded its SV slurry tanker range with the launch of two new models.
FARM UTILITIES new next month include CB Norwood's CF Moto Z6, a 600cc, fuel-injected side-by-side and a UTV – a utility 4x4 machine with a tipping deck, powered by a 500cc engine.
These will be followed soon after by the CF Moto Z8 (an 800cc side-by-side) and the X8 (an 800cc agricultural ATV).
Established globally as a farm and powersports machine maker, Norwood says, CF Moto came to the New Zealand market in 2010.
Its scooters and ATVs have previously been sold here and in Australia bearing a different name. Now they're all CF Moto.
The firm, based in Hangzhou, China, has made such products for 20 years. It puts 25% of its 1300 workers to research and development. The brand enforces a zero defect policy. It makes 600,000 vehicles annually, selling them in Europe, North and South America, Australia and Africa, as well as in China.
CF Moto ATVs/UTV and side-by-sides come with automatic CVT (continuous variable transmission) and selectable 2WD/4WD modes with a low/high range and independent rear suspension.
The farm range of ATVs includes a base model 500cc (the X5) at $9500 incl. GST, the soon-to-arrive X8 (800cc power steer) at $14,999, the Rancher 500cc UTV at $13,999 and the new Z6 (600cc EFI) side-by-side at $14,999. All models carry a 1-year factory warranty.
Two agricultural/recreational models are the CF Moto Z6 (600cc) and Z8 (800cc) with electric winch, tow hitch and alloy wheels as standard.
