I just got the 480mm Makita XGT 40v mower kit last Friday. Mowed 4 lawns since. I absolutely love this commercial mower. With such a small rear exit chute it never clogged at all. Really compacts the bag to the brim. I am glad I took your advice and got the smaller mower. The extra RPM makes a clear difference. Got two 8ah batteries on top of the two 5ah's. I never got closes to using two 8 ahs. Used auto 90 percent of the time while i figure out run times. 1 lawn that i did has a 2x10m tall dense strip of Kikuya. My 140cc would bog hard but this Makita ramps up and barely drops RPMs. Self propel is really intuitive. Thought it would be too twitchy but it's not. Massive ball bearing wheels make it easy to push. I got the 4 swing back blades. Low RPMs will bag grass in the deck with ease. If you want to pick up all debris below the blades leave it at max RPM.
Can't recommend this e-mower enough. Thanks Tools & Stuff for your review.
Pretty impressive going through grass that thick without bogging down
I barely have a yard and my landlord has a company cut it and I still want this haha
I just received my Makita 40v XGT yesterday. My first eMower! I'm impressed with how well it mowed my St. Augustine grass in Florida!👍
I reside in Michigan. I'm debating on going with the Makita GML01PL with the two 8ah batteries. I currently use a Honda HRX 217HYA 200cc with hydrostatic transmission. It cuts like a dream, and it sucks all my plant clippings up, leaves zero clumps etc etc. Like I've, vacuumed my lawn essentially. I also have large oaks and maples that drop basketball sized leaves in the fall that I use my Honda in the fall to suck them up or mulch them. Are there any issues with it or difficult to clean the underside carriage warranty repairs, etc?
@@shanew7361 Yes, go with the 8ah and a dual charger. My GML01SM came with the 4ah and single charger, and I ended up buying another battery. I also replaced my blade with the Makita High lift blade, and it really improved the cut and lift. The mower has great power and should do well sucking up the leaves. It doesn’t have the dual blades like the Honda, but the mower does a good job mulching. I actually find maneuvering the Makita so much easier because the mower is so much lighter than the Honda HRX217. Even with self propel, the Honda wore me out on a hot day. I sometimes push and pull the Makita without the self propel, but my Honda is too heavy for that. Even if you want to keep the Honda as a spare and for fall leaf-duty, that’s also an option.👍🏼 good luck!
oh, waited for this one :) looks really good!
I picked one up a few weeks ago. Now just waiting for the grass to start growing
I love my 36v (2x18v) v Mikita mower. Better for my ears, less vibrations and no dirty petrol.
You honestly cant ask for much more.
Already got one. It’s brilliant…
Just got mine a few weeks ago (Australia) along with an 8ah battery, comes standard with the swing back blades in Australia. Was a bit concerned it wouldn't have the grunt to replace my old petrol mower but seems every bit as powerful.
I think the disc with swing back blades is a safety requirement here in Australia.
Im impressed! I have a craptastic 24v mower (got it for free) and it struggles to cut my front lawn (like 400 sq ft) on a full charge
that grass would bog down most gas mowers, well at least mine it would at half the height
Already got mine, love Makita!! I own both LXT and XGT
Which one is better

Good detailed video, just for sound probably best to put the mic a bit of distance away as well like where other public/family hears it when someones cutting a mower
love your wellyettes
How does the weight of this mower compare to a petrol version?
How does it compare to the backpack mower and the LXT one?
Nice video
If they came out with a 40v snowblower I’d be all over XGT. I’ve got an old mower and a 9 year old Airens blower both looking like they’d like to be retired soon. Until then I keep buying 18v tools.
Hoping they will bring a roller mower version out. Id be 1st in the que
Im saving up for one
I want this motor on a Honda HRX "like" plastic mower deck. No rust and nothing sticks to it. Plus it must mow at 4 miles (6.4 km) per hour. I really would like a 30" cut though.
You have right the 18v version is very rusty from beginig, but they said thats a comertial grade tool.
Honda announced it will discontinue making gas mowers and dive into battery only towards the end of 2023
5:00 Wasn't expecting them to get through this, quite impressive. Does look like a a struggle a couple of times though, on both mowers.
I use the swing back blades as the come standard in Australia I have used the single blade and I find that the four swing back blades mulch and bag better
why do Aussie mowers have those swing blades?
damn im impressed
Hey mate! I noticed in your 40v mitre saw video that you compared the 40v to the bigger Makita LS1219l. I have recently purchased the same saw from Mitre 10, I have had the common problem they seem to have making a curved cut when in the sliding mode. Have you had this problem? Cheers
This was a heck of a test. That was some long grass. I see some being sold by private party. They have multiple mowers. I'm trying to figure out if they are refurbished or returns. Same things sorta. Great review!
Night and day better than my old EGO battery mower.
Hey mate, are those handles annoying/uncomfortable to hold in while pushing it at all?
I got lucky and I found the 01 model on facebook for 180 dollars. I thought It was too good too be true till i recieved it and it worked amazing. Man this is a 1000+ kit
Nice score!
The smaller XGT mower has more “power”? I need to cut zoysia matrella…. Thanks…
Nice video ! Makita 40V vs new 64V with super long gras conditions would be great ....
hi, the "swing away" blades or flail blades are better for 2 reasons, 1) if you hit something (e.g. rock) it won't transfer the impact to the crankshaft. i had a bend crank from using the straight blade and 2) if the flail hits your foot (you wearing steelcaps) it will not injure as much. i think most lawns nowadays could easily be mowed with a single 4Ah battery.
I hit a 2x2 cm square metal tube with mine 2x18V 460mm makita and it chopped it up, I was so furious I fucked up my new mower (as I did with gasoline ones), but it was completely fine! And that was a normal one piece blade
@@JohnKrakatoa My problem with old Makita DLM 431 lawnmower is that right front wheel is attached to really soft flat metal bar and it bends sideways all the time if the wheel hits something ... would need to add a piece of U steel on that , as they designed it to DLM 530/532
I would get this if it was for one thing - a Toro-like personal pace drive! That is just so much better than having 2 lever bars on the handle and then a stick to set the pace…
True, but this mower is built more commercial like. The toro personal pace drive is more comfortable but more for homeowners.
@@Ar100-Adr Why would you say the solution itself is less commercial? And frankly, the price and power seems to put these makitas pretty well in line with the recyclers anyway :)
@@kristofpucejdl True, but I have also used both the toro recycler and makita 18x2 mower for cutting lawns. The toro was good at self pacing and power wise but reliability wise, it barely lasted a month for us before issues popped up. The makita commercial has lasted us 6 months so far and no issues so far. We use it daily for gardening. That’s why I said the toro is more based towards homeowners.
This is so much lighter than the personal pace, so you don’t really need the self-propelled. I had a Toro personal pace AWD before I purchased this Makita. I understand what you are referring to, but releasing the bar and pushing manually without the self-propelling is simple because it is light.
Thanks for the video, they look rock solid - would love to see how they stack up to the milwaukee mower 👍
Am I mistaken, or is there only one XGT mower model in the USA?
Well done man😎👍 if you can do some luxury landscaping grass to see how it fairs thats would be fantastic 🎉 thank you. Also up hill challenges- down slope too - the drive system- assist would show in a few hrs how the battery holds up. Cheers
To add, differences in blades 🤷♂️ i dont understand this. Please help.. thanks
I got a 800smq yard / growing the grass for a dog run/ so i want to keep it clean but not kill thw grass too. Fustrating haha😂
Can't decide which to buy, got around 500 sqm, what do you guys recommend?😅
I have de Dlm532 and i love it… one of the best makita tools i aprecciated spending my money….
I also have it and i hate it 12x6.0 Ah to cut 750 m2, poor performance and rusty deck the worst tool of makita ever made
I literally.....
Just brought a Milwaukee battery 🔋 lawnmower last week (which is great), but now I want this tooooo!
😭😭😭😭😭😊😊😊😊😊
Oh man I think I have a case of buyer remorse/tool envy. I bought the Ego 52cm Select Cut 12 months ago and have been pretty happy with it but these new Makita's certainly look better than the "industry leader". It doesn't matter whether I'm mulching or bagging, when I walk backwards it seems to drop or clump the clippings whereas I didn't see any of that in this vid. Also battery life would appear phenomenal on these Makita's compared to my 56v 7.5Ah. Oh well..🤦♂🤷♂
Plus I believe the Makita is much more expensive than the Ego?
Are the batteries very hot? It seems to me that powering a 1900w device with a single battery is not a very good idea.
Is this U.S. model number, GML01PL, equivalent to the one you preferred at the end of your video?
Did you get one, and which one did you get? I'm tired of my gas Honda mower. I'm in Michigan and only see the one Makita with 8ah batteries for $1299 at Home Depot, but it only has 2800 rpm, which sucks lol
Didn't see these mowers bog down much or stall out once, pretty impressive.
i expect nothing less from makita this isnt ryobi
But he was testing on the highest cut setting which is the easiest.
He would get a different result on a lower setting.
Hey man I'm in the states but the 40v lawnmower only comes with 2 4ah batteries for $699 ..they have it online for $900 with 2 8ah batteries. Is 2 4ah batteries enough to power this thing ?
For the extra $200 I would go for the 8Ah's. So much cheaper there than everywhere else on earth.
First run on my 480mm XGT 40V. The couch grass of my new house was 200mm high in some places. Mid winter, so pretty damp in South Aus. Looks a little thicker than your kikuya there, so I cut it quite high, will have to go lower next weekend. I'm using 2x 5Ah batteries and it took me three charges to get through 200m2. One battery gets drained while the other battery has four bars still. Not real happy with it's performance. I even tried not using self propulsion. Nothing helped. And I barely filled one catch.
Will have to see how it runs when the grass is lower and drier.
Do they cut out mine won't go if one battery is flat. ?
They are 40v tools, not 80v. It only uses 1 battery at a time and as the first one gets low it jumps to the second battery. Sometimes if the 1st battery is flat as you try and start it, it won't jump to the charged battery. I think it needs to be running to jump if you have batteries in both slots.
It would have been informative to compare the 2 x 18 Volt mowers to the 40 Volt mowers to see how they compare. From my understanding is that the 40 Volt max is just 36 Volt system. Maybe you can confirm this. I still feel that having 12 batteries in series to create 36 volts (40v max ) is asking for trouble. If one of the 12 batteries fail it becomes an expensive to replace the battery pack, on the other hand if one of the 6 batteries in an 18 volts fails it is more manageable to replace a 18v pack. So that is why I am sticking to 18/36 volt system
Send me the money and I will compare it for you.
Secondly, I assume you mean battery cells when you speak. Most Makita 18v batteries have 10 cells, some have 5, none have 6. Half of the Makita 40v (yes they are 36v nominal) have 10 cells, the others have 20. Cells are 3.6v nominal. Some 18v batteries from other companies put up to 30 cells in their batteries. So your theory is based on erroneous info.
You right should have been accurate stating the number of cells in a battery pack.
What was pointing out here was from my past experience with lithium ion batteries, if one cell goes faulty in a battery pack, which I have had experienced a few times then the whole battery pack is stuffed. The BMS just switches off the battery. So statistically the more cells wired in series to give a higher Voltage the greater the chance it will fail. Using two 18 Volt pack in series instead of one 40 V means that if cell fails there is only lose only one cheaper 18 V battery to a much more expensive 40 V battery. It will be interesting to see how the Victor lawn mowers long term reliability holds up with an 82V battery
Problem is that for 2x 8ah xgt batteries, it's over an eye watering £500 in the UK.
The combidrill kit itself is 500, xgt is an expected expense
Battery price is the ban for this thing worldwide
US, Just ordered 2x8’s charger, mower 21” / 534mm. $949 + tax @ 6%.
Dying to sell my ego unit with 10ah battery and fast charger. After seeing the smaller unit in high grass.
@@GregBrecker where did you buy that?
Take my money makita and shut up!!!!! lol
Well i cant get past the price of batteries. They are $400 each. Also its $1800 for the kit with two 5amp batteries So if i want the 8 amp batteries for run time i have spend a extra $800 on top of the kit. If i buy the bare kit then $1000 plus $800 plus how much a charger costs. So close to $2k for it. I think i will stick to a gas mower for half the amount.
Check online you can find the kit with 2 8.0’s for under $1000 USD right now… I’m tempted but I’m invested in the 18v line.
We have the kit in stock at our store with 2 8s for 925.00
I wonder how makita compares to ryobi mower. ^^
I have a 18V 460mm one, love it, its definitely made for lawns, small grass, because the fucking catcher bag clogs up like crazy, dunno what dickheads design those, if you are doing taller grass, BUT if you just don't put in the bag/box whatchacallit and put a stick to hold the back flap up, you can mow through anything and super quick... if you don't mind getting grassy legs :D
Can’t hear jack? What did you say
Can you review the new Hikoki track saw
Should have mowed some crop circles.
Thought about it.
First 🤟

I have the Dewalt 2x18v mower and it is GARBAGE. Low torque, chews batteries and completely failed 12 months in. Dewalt said no receipt no warranty - tough shit. $350 for a new electronic controller that will probably fail just like the last one. These maktias look multitudes better.
Wow! Not many Dewalt tools last that long. Dewalt is cheap junk some people still think is a professional brand.
