Battery Powered Lawn Tools

The Milwaukee M18 outdoor power tools are serving me well. An unintended use was to bust up the hard clay bottom of a 160 ft trench to level a bed for an electric line, after the Mini-X was done trenching, using the tiller attachment.

This won't happen. There are benefits to the end user, but it just goes against free markets. And how would it work with existing tools...it couldn't, so that would be incredibly wasteful.

Right. They have a commercial line with on-board batteries but the entry point is well north of 10k.

Passing on this one. Likely going gas stander. Reluctantly.

I like small electric mowers...but I can't imagine this monstrosity. Just feels like a half-assed attempt. 3 separate chargers? 6 batteries in the machine with 6 more on standby for larger areas? Who wants to mess with all of that.

At that point its not about living within a battery ecosystem...you're creating a new ecosystem. They should just go all the way. Big purpose built battery pack and ability to plug it into a car charger for speed or slow charge off 110v.

Scoping mowers and looking at the Greenworks CRZ428 zero-turn. 80v system. 42" deck. The Costco version comes with 12 4Ah batteries. Looks like the mower takes 6 batteries at a time, and run time with 6 is more than enough for my use case. How are these things? https://www.costco.com/greenworks-80...000242229.html Really want a stander for the ergos and smaller footprint but electric standers are $$$$.

The Milwaukee cultivator attachment works better than expected for tilling. Forward is shallower than pulling backwards which grinds down a couple inches. The [emoji638] speeds are nice. It’s very handy for grinding up gopher mounds.

I have a yard full of old trees so I’m always trimming branches. My Milwaukee M12 Hatchet chainsaw is the perfect tool. With a few straps and a long 2 x 4 it makes a great pole trimmer also.

I bought the Dewalt version for Christmas.
I liked the balance of the Milwaukee better but I'm invested in Dewalt already. I'll have to try the ghetto polesaw mod. Thanks for that.

battery chain saws rule. You can't buck rounds all day but killer for limbing and taking down smaller trees. I have a battery one in my arsenal of saws.

Anyone have experience with the Milwaukee sixteen inch bar M eighteen chainsaw? It’s a hundred bucks off right now

My buddy said he almost never runs his gas saws any more cuz he likes that m18 one so much. Great tool

A 42” deck electric mower? wtf. 12 batteries? You got money to burn I guess. A gas version will last several lifetimes unless you are a landscaper. Then it will only last ten years.

As for any electric chain saw fuck yeah. For a homeowner it’s so much easier. Still need bar oil and chains. But grab it and go is so nice. Not as fast. But quieter for stealth work.
