Mowing ..

[roddy1960]

Just to add this if I may . Before yesterday I've never owned anything Makita , not because I didn't like it , but because I thought it was overkill for the sort of stuff I do and couldn't justify the extra cost over cheaper brands .

Yesterday I bought the petrol lawn mower PLM4623 NP model .. Very happy with it but as it's raining I had a look for more Makita mowing stuff . I found this by an Aussie crowd on YT ..

Debate on petrol v electric/battery will rage on but this was interesting .

Not sure if I'd ever totally commit to this but good to check out anyway ..

I'm thinking the 18 V batteries are about $125 each when needing replacement , I know the drill ones are as we have Makita drills at work and an extra couple of batteries arrived at about that cost each not too long ago . We switched from DeWalt to Makita too .
