Nice! yeah I was impressed too mate. Will you be investing into it tho, thats the question lol...

Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Stoked you are loving the Makita mower. I haven’t tried the smaller version yet but a few people have recommended it recently. Exciting times!

Hay que pensar que aunque tenga más rpm, al ser la cuchilla más corta, la parte exterior que es la que corta va más lenta (recorre menos espacio por cada revolución), por lo que probablemente la velocidad de cuchilla sea similar en el modelo de 53 y el rendimiento no debería ser muy diferente.

Good point. Thanks for watching.

That’s great to hear mate. Looking forward to leaving the heavy Hondas in the shed too. Thanks for the heads up on the blades too. 👍🏻

Thanks Gary 👍🏻

Always something to improve upon I guess but I found it had plenty of power for a battery mower.

Hey mate, thanks for watching and commenting. Yep I've also invested shed loads into Husqvarna. If they could bring out a mower similar to this or even better (surely one day) I'd be a very happy chap but at the moment this Makita gear is really good, particularly this mower! I post quite a few little videos talking about gear on Instagram as well if you are on there? A universal standard battery would be amazing!

Kusky is bad ? Not recomanded ?

@@groot9857 Husqvarna is great but they don’t make a commercial grade battery mower yet….

@@lovelawns Husqvarna or Ego ? :(

Depends what you are doing? Both make great gear. For commercial use I prefer Husqvarna.

Thanks, yeah probably best to stick with the Makita blades on this.

Thanks 👍

Just about. Ideally I would like it to go a bit lower but no battery mower goes lower than 20mm at the moment and this Makita is the only one I know of that does. All the other ones are 25mm or higher!

Just pop them in the charger, then sit on the side, ready for your next mow. 👍🏻

But when? Wait until I’m ready to mow again and then charge it? Or charge it when I finished the first time?

​@@lizbiglerThe battery suffers when it is below 20% or above 70%. Obviously in real life it is difficult to maintain these values, however it is easy not to discharge it below 20, this should always be tried, since also when the battery is low it loses power and therefore wastes your time. When we notice that the machine loses power, check that it only has one light on the indicator and remove the battery. If the battery is above 25% (2 indicator lights) and it won't be long until the next time you use it, you can leave it stored like this. I personally have a simple timer and by pressing a couple of buttons I program the charger for 30-40 minutes of charging, leaving them in a state close to 60-70%, ideal for storage. When I am going to use them, if the work is not going to be demanding I use them like this, if it is going to be demanding I charge them to 100% before using them. There is a study that assessed how many complete charge cycles a battery lasts until it drops to 80% health if it is used at different levels of charge. Some of the values ​​it showed are that it gave 500 cycles if it was discharged to 0% and charged to 100%, 1000 cycles if 20-100 were done (this is easy and comfortable to do) and, at best, 6000 cycles charging 20-70.

Hi mate, no I didn’t invest into the Makita gear yet as I don’t need to upgrade my mowers at the moment. Waiting to see what 2024 brings too, as I have an expectation there will be some good battery mowers released. Cheers

Up to you really. Both make great tools. 👍🏻

Both are pretty average at mulching to be honest. I’d say they are pretty much on par with the Makita being a touch better due to higher torque. Cheers

Hey mate, I prefer the Makita over the Ego. Don’t know how you use your mower but I’d recommend the Makita for sure.

Can’t beat the oldies

Haven’t tried it yet

No idea sorry

Apparently the Honda 216 blades fit tho

Not long….

Don't bother lol

Coming soon!

The cool thing about the 40v Makita is that it runs on 1 battery versus the Milwaukee needs two to start.

@@Hose-Bee I agree, it's a great feature.

I didn’t notice that when I had it but I only had it for a week or so. Have you found a solution? Cheers for posting.

@@lovelawns I see. Cut a hole on the inside layer so it’s easier to dump the trapped dirt. Hopefully the hole won’t get any bigger.

Nope, just this one.

I’m telling you that the 48mm it’s more powerful

@@rafaelsousa6550 thanks

​​@@rafaelsousa6550 más rpm no es necesariamente más potente si la cuchilla es más corta, ya que en los extremos recorre menos espacio por cada revolución.
