I’m with Brian. No way it would work for me. I mow a little over 5 acres.

I haven’t thought of an electric mower yet. Thinking of upgrading to a self-propelled gas though.

40V cordless lawn tools those will be nice. I have 18V now but would like a 40 V blower and chain saw.

Fayetteville, NCI know a guy that has an electric mower and for sure should have a cordless, He went to electric cuz he didn’t like the noise of a gas one and the hassle/expense of keeping gas around for it. But, Now he spends more money on new cords and/or has the hassle of cord repair LOL, The cord he uses now has numerous splices/repairs LOL. I will says it’s a lot of fun though watching him mow his yard…………. and run over the cord Hahaha 🙂
We have a duplex with a smaller yard. Right now we don’t have a way to store a mower at the property. I have been looking at getting a cordless mower and trimmer for that property. We have a utility room we could put them in and keep them charged. We just can’t keep gas equipment in there. 40v seems to be the way to go with lawn equipment.
That said the 56v Ego looks good on paper. I would really want to try one out before committing that kind of coin.

I knpw B&D has a cordless mower. They actually have a whole system in 40V mower, hedge trimmer, blower, pole saw, and chain saw. Problem is not all of it has been released yet. I have been waiting for the blower and chain saw myself but wouldn’t you know they are still not released.

Fayetteville, NCSure would be nice if a tool manufacturer (like Bosch?) would make some yard tools that work with their current tool batteries.

Cordless chain saw? Wow that might be pretty cool, It just don’t seem right for one of those to be electric but then either does a lawn mower to me…….Or a car really, I enjoy the Vroom Vroom ya get with an engine and a throttle
My hedge trimmer is still going strong – it is a cheap Ryobi too. I would totally get a battery lawn mower – I have been using an old fashioned reel mower that is just human powered for the last few years and it works fine. Would not want to use it for a large lawn at all, but for what I have it works well. A battery powered one would be even better.

I would like a blower that would work with my battery systems. Great from blowing debris from the floor for wall layout. “I do not have makita”
Looks like Stihl has quite a bit of cordless lawn equipment in their arsenal.

I’ve been seriously looking into a cordless Makita trimmer. I currently use a corded model that is slowly falling apart.

InstagramI had a cordless trimmer and only got a year out of it. But my mother has a cordless trimmer and well and this year was 3 years batteries are getting tierd now though. It was one of those tv infomercails.

Yes they do, as usual DeFalt is a day late and very short. They see a market and are jumping into it. Ryobi has been on this for a while now.

This is the one I want but I think it’s NAINA as I don’t see it on the Makita site, yet.

Now Makita has a 36v weed whacker! I wonder if it will be available by the spring. I was all set to pick up the new BL 18v model!
