Tim, great videos using this Milwaukee. I have a 47cm Ego mower and have been mowing acreage for some time. I have access to solar power so can mow all day using two batteries - one charging and one working. Apart from a lunch break I have no need to stop so get through quite a bit of work. It is tough on the mower . . . 10cm to 30cm mostly weedy - but lush - growth. The batteries are impressive with little deterioration over 12 months. The charger is truely excellent. The pros with the Ego are 1. The plastic base . . . Indestructible . . . I have used steel and alloy over the years and after using the Ego poly carbonate bases in all conditions for over 7 years I am completely sold on plastic. 2. The light weight of the mower. 3. The great range of amp/hr batteries and super fast recharges. I am absolutely happy with the Ego brand. Never had any maintenance at all. However because of the large area of my work I have checked out the Milwaukee. The heavy steel base is a negative. I have questions about the two 12amp/hr batteries. How long do they last before needing a recharge? And Milwaukee's rediculous Super charger which only charges one battery at a time in a system that requires two batteries to operate the mower - imcomprehensible! They have a dual Rapid charger but that will not recharge fast enough to keep me working non-top. And the cost for two Super charges is around $500 compared to less than $200 for an Ego Turbo charger. It is these issues that have so far stopped me from buying a Milwaukee. However I could still be persuaded to change over to Milwaukee if I could be assured that I wouldn't need to buy a half dozen batteries in order to keep working non-stop all day. I have to say I am impressed by the instant and super power of the Milwaukee. Clearly better than the Ego. Overall I am more than happy with battery electric mowers. They are very powerful, tough and reliable with - so far - zero maintenance. I would never go back to petrol. For me it is just a question between brands. Milwaukee is the right size and power. They just need to sort their recharging system and its pricing, that's all. Thanks again Tim. Great video. Love your work. You always do a good job.
I definitely agree about the chargers. The ryobi mower came with a 3 port charger which is a great inclusion.
Real helpful comment. Thnx!
Gas is so much easier. pump, pour, and cut.
Beautiful, lush, crispy edges. Score!🎉🎉😊
The grass is beautiful. Great cutting with the lawnmower.
Great work mate
Damn that stuff looks good at only 2 weeks. Not sure I would get a Milwaukee mower at the price I would guess it's going to be. Once Milwaukee gets out a full line of equipment it may be worth looking into if you can have all red in the garage. I'm kinda sunk into ego now I'm not looking into it but it did good.
But they do have a full line of equipment
No painting needed on that lawn. Great job
Any preference to whipper edges 1st before mow or after ?
Whoa. Wow. First of all...that lawn!!!! It's gorgeous! Man, oh man. Secondly, the results with that mower are spectacular. It looks like the mower did a bang-up job. I like it. Did you? Good vid. Thanx.
I'm pretty impressed with it so far but at that price, it would want to impress
Seems like the handle is a bit lower on that one. Can it adjust higher? Awesome job once again tim
yes mate it's adjustable 👍
that will be my next mower.. I have a riding mower and I"m tired of the fumes and more importantly, the repair costs. Last time I had to get it repaired it was almost $800 USD and the cut is not that great..
Would have loved to seen you test the mulching on this grass, give the Milwaukee a real workout. Most mowers will bag even very tall grass OK
Hey man, can you do another review on the Masport Contracotr after using it for so long?
I'm mostly interested in: - differences between the quad blade of the Masport, and Honda's dual blade,
- cutting heights and its intricacies using the mulch plug and catcher and it bogging down.
Cheers!
Josh
Sure I will 👍
Hi Tim, I appreciate your videos. I am looking to change from Ego 2135XP. I have been running it for 2.5 years as a commercial operator in Vic. Unlike Aussiebattler3527, My plastic deck has self imploded with multiple cracks and is now starting to separate, allowing grass & debris to exit out the side. (Probably fine for perfect lawns). My Ego Mower was replaced under warranty after 3 months (after a 3 month wait.....great as a contractor..not) The second one has had 2 years of med-hard daily use, however the self propulsion has died due to a terribly designed nylon pinion gear designed to induce planned obsolescence. You cannot replace just the pinion gear, so for a new S.Propulsion unit @ $350 plus shipping from QLD, plus labor to remove and reinstall?? Ridiculous. For comparison Honda HRU gearbox approx $160?
Bye Bye Ego. It is not worth my money to replace the gearbox and still have a damaged deck and i'm due for a 3rd catcher bag ($100+ shipping)
Ego Pros; Does a great cut, (Lightweight & range of cut height very good) easy to maintain blades (I have them off, sharpened & balanced & back on in approx 10-12 minutes). Battery life good. I use approx 20-30AH per day. However 7.5AH battery replaced under warranty, 2x other 7.5AH batteries have cell issues out of warranty. New 10Ah battery purchased $550, late 2022.
I also use the same Masport contractor SP21" mower. Its ok. Its powerful, economical, but a tank to maneuver. I have replaced two idler puller bearings in 2.5 yrs with minimal use.
I am tossing up between the Milwaukee & Greenworks Commercial 25". I enjoy your videos, thanks:) Cheers from Wes
Hey mate, wondering what battery system you would buy into if you were looking at garden tools like blower, mower, whipper snipper and a chainsaw? Or would you just stick with the same brand as your tools as everything on offer is much of a muchness.
I've used the Stihl MS220C chainsaw and I'm really impressed, it was on par with their petrol chainsaws like the 242, so at least some battery products are right up there.
Keeping the same batteries as the power tools is appealing if you have a lot of batteries as they are the main cost. I don’t really have a favourite to be honest. I like different tools from different brands.
He could just get one cow for the front yard and one for the back and not worry about the grass😅
A beautiful lawn. It’s lush and like carpet. I had wondered why you chose this sod, but it’s clearly a great choice when regularly maintained. How are the grasses in the front coming along?
This isn’t my yard, it’s one of my clients. I’ll have an update on mine soon 👍
Great job but why not mulch and put the nutrients back into the ground?
what model is that mower?
Hi Tim,
I have a buffalo that I like to keep really short and once a year I rip it right down. I use a Honda 4 stroke but thinking about making the switch to battery. I recently tried a ryobi 36V self propelled from a friend and noticed that I couldn't cut it short enough because the height bumps up automatically on those machines like a one way ratchet. I would start the lawn on a level 3 and finish it on a level 5 and couldn't get it to stay in the 3 position.
Is this Milwaukee any better? Does it do the same? is it also a toy mower!?
I’m not exactly sure what you mean? But if you like really short grass, battery mowers in general won’t be great as most of them seem to have minimum cut of 25mm and at that height the chassis can be bottoming out anyway. If you’re in western Sydney send me an Instagram message and maybe you can have a look at the milwaukee
Any chance on giving the Ozito pxc 36v (2 x 18v) 460mm brushless steel deck electric mower a go ?
Yep I’ve got it at the moment. Am testing it now.
So out of all the battery mowers you have tested which one one preforms the best and are the self propelled mowers better for a medium sized lawn 80 minutes mowing time my budget would be 1,000
Not sure if you've bought one yet but l've just picked mine up self propelled and its taken 95% of the effort of walking mowers up incline yards it drags me up with it, its amazing lm switching all my garden gear to battery tired of mixing fuels and having that smell through the shed or garage.
If only it had a reverse gear for when you need to drag it back.. could be a hazard or maybe something they will work on in future.
l recommend it to anyone who really needs the assistance in mowing big yards with hills.
Maybe!!! For the first 10 feet! Then done.
What do you mean?
I've never seen anyone wear a half-face respirator while mowing. I wear an old N95 due to allergies. I guess your allergies are REAL bad eh?
Wait, you mow 1 time every 2 weeks? Damn i have to move twice a week
Is this your home Tim?
I've never seen any grass look that good, and am not sure that you're not cutting artificial turf. Yes, jealous. So, what type of grass is it? I also have to ask, is it the soil, grass, watering that causes such growth? I'd suggest getting away from the gas trimmer, etc., when not doing overgrown lawns. I personally love the EGO trimmer with the "self feeding" line feature. I think that once your grass height is at the correct level, the electric trimmer is all you need for maintenance. PS: The reason I'm going full electric is to reduce db levels 90-100 to 70-80 and save my hearing.
Looks like Tall Fescue, but not 100% sure
This guy really with a set of ear muffs with a battery powered lawn mower (quieter than a gas mower)
Did u put some some fertiliser on this buffalo to make it grow that crazy? Hahaha. Triple cut is solid. ✅
None. Crazy hey
@@turfandtools I guess all it needs is some solid UV, hot weather, humidity and water to grow so rapid…
Is that a new RZ mask you're wearing?
No it’s a different one 👍
@@turfandtoolsWhat's the brand ? Can you do a review on it ?
@@cjonknee will do 👍
The batteries for electric mowers are about 70% of its value. Your actually not buying a mower, your buying a very expensive battery(s)......and they give you the mower body for free! The batteries are also very expensive and electric mowers will always and forever need expensive batteries :(
Solution - a solid and much cheaper Honda self propelled mower! The newer models are pretty quiet, their reliability is outstanding with only minimal (and cheap) normal yearly maintenance required. They also can last 10 years ...with the Big bonus being ...you never have to pay the cost of an entirely new mower, because there are no batteries to replace ...ever:)
Why are you wearing a mask
Cuz sneezing all the dirt and stuff in the air isn't healthy nor fun. Messing up your lungs isn't cool.
