Yeah it’s a brilliant hedger just the cable coming out the back gets in the way all the time.

Doesn’t take me twice as long. Reckon you might be using the wrong gear. I love the battery tools.

Hey thanks for watching. Yep I agree with all your points. Plus the slow ramp up of the self propelled is quite frustrating over time. You learn to manage it but yeah having control would be awesome. I also wish the handle design was slightly different with a cut out to allow for better handling. Similar to the Honda 216 handle design. I also don’t like the front bar as it drags when on the lowest height setting going over bumps / curbs etc. all things I will point out in my upcoming update video. 👍🏻

Yep it’s a weekly customer. Not much fresh growth this time of year. Here in Australia.

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Pretty good. Not excellent but ok

It doesn’t have a reverse function. I don’t find it particularly useful on the model that does have it tho.

Same everywhere for everything mate. Just keeps going up and up.

Mmmmmmm whippies lol 🤤

Yeah it’s a great bit of gear. Stihl reliability is amazing. Does chew the batteries tho so I agree with you there. Thanks for watching.

Nice. It’s a great bit of gear 👍🏻

Hi, thanks for watching. Few tools have had to have the triggers replaced over the years. Seems others have experienced this also. But overall I’ve had pretty much zero issues other than standard wear and tear stuff as long as you look after them properly.

The reverse is a handy feature. The 520ilx does the same thing. Great for getting into corners too.

I’m pretty sure it’s the same base plate that’s provided for the 525 lst when using the metal cutting blade. Maybe try and locate that and it should fit. 🤞

@@lovelawns I did manage to find the plate on its own. It cost a frankly ridiculous £30.12 including VAT and delivery, $57.44 AUD at current exchange rates! Buying a new T25B head is a fiver cheaper. It's on its way. Once I have it in my hands, I'll try to find a Speedfeed 375 head. There seems to be a lot of third party Chinese companies using the name for their product. If I can't get a Shindaiwa one, at a reasonable price, I have seen a good review of the Rotary 27-13375.

@dalriada842 nice work. It’s much better with the speedfeed. Although it doesn’t work in reverse with the speed feed. Well it does work but you can’t extend the line in reverse. Only anti clockwise. Or clockwise if you load the line the other way.

@@lovelawns I rarely change the rotation direction anyway, so that's not a big deal for me. Maybe the next iteration of the Speedfeed head will advance in both directions. I only change direction when I'm close to my neighbour's windows. I'm on a higher level than my neighbour, and my garden is at my neighbour's window level.

I got mine from Karl’s Mowers on the Gild Coast. Think Sydney Tools do the kit too and probably the other tool shops. Cheers

@@lovelawns I'm in the United States. But thanks for responding!

@spartakos3178 ah, no idea then lol. Try Lowes

Husqvarna warranty are usually very good. Hope you get it back quickly. Cheers.

Check Husqvarna website. They have all the details. Cheers

I haven’t used a petrol hedger in about 3 years mate. Can’t imagine I ever will to be honest. I haven’t compared that particular one but I doubt you’d be disappointed.

That sucks mate. Did you not want to get it fixed and try again? Not really what you expect from a fairly expensive commercial grade mower tho. I’ve had no dramas with mine yet. 🤞

Excellent

Thanks. No idea what the official figures are but it’s just plenty fast enough. You would never need it any quicker. It wouldn’t cut properly at full speed. Cheers

4mph people post it on the ego FB page

Thanks for sharing mate. I like them both too. 🤙🏻

Hey Steve, thanks for watching mate. I haven’t touched the Hondas since buying this. 👍🏻

20mm on the Makita, same as the new commercial Ego 👍🏻

Obviously 😝

Yeah it’s not for everyone and is certainly an investment, but most people buy into a system so may already have batteries and chargers which helps. The kit is $2850 here in Aus plus a free battery via redemption. For what it is it’s priced about what I would expect. If you look at similar commercial machines like the Pellenc or Stihl RMA twin blade it’s actually cheap lol.

Nice! You happy with it?

You may have time to register the mower so they’ll send you the high lift blade for free.

@NickWindham thanks for watching

The unit with 2 x 12.0Ah (672W x 2 = 1,344W = 1.344KW) is rated for 120 min. of runtime and it very realistic since I am using average less than two 10.0Ah batteries (1,120W = 1.12KW) on the North American single battery 22"/53 cm model LM2206SP operating average 100 min. per cut every 2~3 days on my property on speed level 2 & Turbo with duel high lift blade set on drive speed 2~4.

@@Jeo-Whatgood data

Yes easily. 👍🏻

Legend thanks for the info. Do you know what it ramps up to automatically in the thick stuff?

@@lovelawns Cheers … I’m trying to get access to a Local TAFE small engine Dyno as that would be the only way to check ramp-up RPM. EGO did say that unloaded RPM would be at a commercial mower speed of 3,400 RPM, so it would be good to DYNO test to see if other claims are not accurate, like HP and NW For ICE, HP and NW they have to comply with SAE standards. Unfortunately there are currently no standards for electric, so they do a calculation using voltage, Am/Hrs and the number of motor poles. For the record, I mostly love the new EGO commercial Alloy Deck and have recently mowed an overgrown buffalo block at 350mm, and I went straight in at level 3 and it bagged perfectly with no blockages and it didn’t struggle at all with the blade it came with. Admittedly I was walking slow. BTW, you have a beautiful home!

Thank you for posting the rpm as I am interested to know and the result is quiet interesting. I have the North America residential 22" (53 cm) single battery (none Peak Power) sister model SelectCut (dual bladed) LM2206SP with a 1,400W motor (vs 1,600W on LMX5300SP) using the exactly same aluminum deck. After installed the EGO Connect APP and connected with the LM2206SP via Bluetooth, the APP updated the LM2206SP to the newest firmware and provided maximum drive speed control option (default 3.1MPG now able to increase to 4.1MPG as the LMX5300SP can) and the option to Enable/Disable the Super Turbo blade speed when select the Turbo setting. I tested the rpm with a digital photo tachometer at the tip of the optional high lift lower blade (free when register the mower with EGO) and these are the average results with a 12.0Ah battery I done in two different days: Speed 1 (ECO) = 2,629 Speed 2 (Level 1) = 2,830 Turbo (Level 2) = 3,084 Super Turbo (enable through EGO Connect APP) = 3,133 ** According to EGO's 2024 catalog, the No-Load Speed RPM of this mower is 3,100 (on installed standard mulching blade). My current residential original Peak Power 21" LM2142SP mower (EGO's first mower to have the brushless 8.5 ft-lb (down rated to 8.3 ft-lb after the introduction of LM2156SP) motor) with high lift blade installed (no speed selection option on this mower) is running at No-Load Speed of 2,880 rpm while the No-Load Speed RPM is listed at 2,800 rpm in the 2024 catalog (with standard factory installed blade); however, it has ~40% less under deck air flow/recycling space due to the large center motor housing. It's interesting that EGO never advertised the maximum rpm on the 8.3 ft-lb brushless motor but do so on the 22"/53cm models. I believe even at Super Turbo setting, the rpm may still ramp up to the advertised 3,350rpm when encounter heavy resistance... at least I hope so because that is what I am paying for.

@@Jeo-Whatgreat info! Thxx as bid for sharing!!

Thanks mate. Yeah someone else mentioned they spoke to Milwaukee and they sent them an updated mulch plug which was slightly different and it sorted it out. 🤷

Well yeah I’m referring to where I live not somewhere else on the planet lol.

Dedicated trimmer, geared at the full time commercial user with a few subtle differences and a bit more power. 325iLK still highly recommended though. 👍🏻

Not it doesn’t mate. Solid as a rock

@@lovelawns good to hear !

This Ego absolutely pisses all over the two battery mowers you mentioned. I’ve used both and they are toys compared to this. This can replace your petrol commercial mower for pretty much everything. You’ll see what I mean at Groundfest 👍🏻

@@lovelawns love to see the EGO on the one lawn we do that even our petrols struggle with , from what youve said and what ive seen they would cope pretty well.

Yep it’s got great power and torque mate.

Have been chatting to Makita and should have another demo to compare shortly. 👍🏻

Hey, yes you can. Cheers

Hey, thanks for watching. The high lift does what it says it will do and has more suction and lifts the grass up more. Potentially resulting in a better overall cut. Thanks

@@lovelawns I believe the LMX5300SP only have one blade option which is the installed high lift blade. In North America, the residential model SelectCut LM2200SP comes with two mulching lower blades and the high lift lower blade is available free shipped to the owner when the owner register the mower within 90 days.

Yes #husqvarna 👍🏻

Thanks for watching 🤙🏻

Yep entry cost is high for sure on all these new battery products. Just look at the battery zero turns..! Pretty much zero maintenance / running costs over the lifetime of the product mind. Especially if you charge off of solar too.

Wait for the LMX5307SP-2 kit with two 12.0Ah batteries and two 700W turbo chargers that would charge up the two batteries in 75min with ~120 min. runtime with a few hundreds only which is an excellent deal. If you are in snowy area of UK, get the SMT2807 snow blower that also comes with two 12.0Ah batteries and you would be all set for both season. I never buy the tool and batteries separately on EGO's products.

Still enjoying it? This video convinced me to grab one. Have to admit i knew it was heavy but actually using it was an eye opener. Used to mainly push with a bit of self propelled, not finding that really feasible with this one. Tried it on anything tougher yet? As much as I'm willing the grass to grow? It's just not complying.

@maraachful yeah still pleased with it mate. It is a heavy mower though, for sure. Still not loving the slow ramp up of the self propelled but I’m used to it now. Maybe Ego can fix it with a software update..? Not had it in much tough stuff really. Nothing really growing much at the moment here.

@@lovelawns Either you get the loud winning noisy motor from the residential LM2206SP in North America or the quiet but slow ramp up motor of the LMX5300SP, I think I would chose the quiet but slow ramp up motor.

Yes it’s far superior to any and all previous Ego models. Cheers

Thanks for watching and commenting

I wonder if the 53 cm/ 22" SelectCut dual blade set from the North America residential model LM2206SP will fit on this unit with the possibility that the fan may also needs to be replaced to get the correct cut height.

I agree the previous self propelled system wasn’t great. This one is much better if not a bit slow to get up to speed. Fingers crossed it’s released in the US soon. Cheers

@@lovelawns EGO distributors say mid to late July and still no battery or charger for the US release. We'll see if that really happens. Thanks for the video update.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Still early days but so far so good. Much nicer to use than the petrol mowers. Let me know how you get on if you do buy one. Cheers

Since each 12.0Ah battery contain the same energy/fuel/runtime as one tank of petrol gas, you can easily calculate how much saving you would be getting based on how often you refill your Honda. Of course the same battery also run all the yard tools like the trimmer, chain saw, leaf blower, pressure washer, LED lights, snow blower, 3,000W power invertor..... without the need of spending more fuel driving to the pump just to get more fuel for the yard tools.
