We got the 36v 21" Brushless Self Propelled Mower - Model: DLM536PT4X Retails $1,350 (As a Kit - charger and x4 5.0ah batteries) at Mitre 10 currently. Mowed Yesterday and Today for the first time. As i have Plantar Fasciitis (feet issues) mowing the lawn is quite a struggle for me. I learned quick as i'm only a short person that doesn't take big steps the turtle mode of the self propelled was perfect as the full power mode left me behind haha. Extremely happy with this mower. Not one person has done a review for the particular model we purchased this week which i found surprising. So been youtubing watching similar mowers. Thanks for the vid. Yeah you are right not many vids out there so thanks for taking the time as the instruction booklets offer bugger all on how to use the mowers and i had to do research on the tube before switching it on. For me the batteries are great as we have a heck of alot of lawn to mow so it did well as i conk out for a spell before the batteries do. My partner may have a different view when he goes to use it and he's 6 foot and full health so i'd say for him another 2 batteries on top of the 4 would be beneficial, but having said that we do have large double block properties in the country with 80% lawn 20% garden. This property has about 3x the amount of lawn you have and the other 4x. So... that would be the only reason. Also as here in the Snowy Mountains it's going to piss down with rain for a few days 8 am this morning i whizzed through the rest of the lawn while it was still wet through over night/morning dew. Cut like a breeze perfectly and no struggle at all.
Hi mate, thanks for taking the time for a comprehensive comment on your experience and thoughts. I’m glad to hear that the vid was somewhat helpful for you and that you are happy with your purchase. With a lack of info out there it’s hard to take the plunge with confidence sometimes, hence I felt the need for an opinion on CZcams even know it has nothing to do with the crux of my channel 🫤. Happy mowing and feel free to let me know how your experience progresses over time 👍🏼😊
Good to hear from someone who uses these for a living. Yeah I agree with the trimmers and chainsaws they work a treat. No problems so far with the mower also which is good 👍🏼
@@chewy7943 sorry for late reply. If your lawn isn’t that big and don’t mind pushing a smaller lawn mower the dlm 464 might be a better choice possibly
Thanks for this mate, good to see. My yard's a fair bit bigger, and I was looking at one of the cheaper, 5ah 2-battery models, pretty sure now it would be way under what I need. Cheers.
So much for the review let's get that boat in the water and go fishing how are we not in the water showing awesome fishing videos😂❤.. Makita video great job bassmaster here we come
Ya finally i came across a Aussie review on Makita battery mower we don't many here in Australia im looking at buying a battery mower ive checked out ego wich we do have in Bundaberg Queensland
To recharge them they should sell a camping solar panel so saves you money and better for the world the only down side is they got to mine for solar panels and battery’s but still good savings and you don’t still fuel
Nothing comes for free mate there is always give and take isn’t there. The convenience of not having to store and get fuel now is a big win in my opinion and use batteries and chargers that I already had 🤙🏼
I can’t really comment on the EGO as I’ve had nothing to do with them so it’s not my place to compare. I’ve had the Makita for a while now and I’ve had no problems with it at all so far which is good. I think I mentioned in the vid that the main reason I went Makita was the fact that I already had their equipment and batteries so it was natural to go that way as opposed to getting another set of batteries and chargers purely for the mower. If starting from scratch for electric outdoor equipment it would definitely pay to do the rounds and see how they all compare together, availability, price and obviously recommendations. But all I can help you with is my thoughts and experience with this mower, which has been positive so far 😊
Really appreciate ya video mate. I'm a landscaper and your right that there's not enough videos for Aussie lawns
No probs mate 🤙🏽

I run a commercial gardening business. I can say the makita hedge trimmers and chain saws are awesome. Iv got this mower. Perfect for Sunday Mow’s.
Good to hear from someone who uses these for a living. Yeah I agree with the trimmers and chainsaws they work a treat. No problems so far with the mower also which is good 👍🏼
My yard is a lot smaller than this. Would you recommend a makita lawnmower?
@@chewy7943 sorry for late reply. If your lawn isn’t that big and don’t mind pushing a smaller lawn mower the dlm 464 might be a better choice possibly
I can’t believe how light it is ! So easy to use!!
Must be different to mine then, this thing is bloody heavy 😂
Thanks for this mate, good to see. My yard's a fair bit bigger, and I was looking at one of the cheaper, 5ah 2-battery models, pretty sure now it would be way under what I need. Cheers.
No worries at all, glad that someone got something constructive out of it 😊
Thanks mate. This was the review I was looking for. I have the strummer and hedge trimmer.
No problem mate 👍🏼
So much for the review let's get that boat in the water and go fishing how are we not in the water showing awesome fishing videos😂❤.. Makita video great job bassmaster here we come
Haha I love this comment mate 👍🏼 you’re a weapon 😂😂 100% agree let’s get fishing 🤙🏽
Ya finally i came across a Aussie review on Makita battery mower we don't many here in Australia im looking at buying a battery mower ive checked out ego wich we do have in Bundaberg Queensland
Yeah none really in aus is there, that’s why I thought I’d put something together 👍🏼 hopefully helpful
Where is this suburb. The view is sensational.
Lake Macquarie mate 👍🏼
Nice block mate.
Cheers mate 👍🏼
I’m currently looking for a Makita lawnmower & whipper snipper
My lawn is about 15sm
What would you recommend?
Great vid mate
Yeah for sure mate, they are definitely the go for smaller yards. The whipper snipper is awesome too mate, powerful and long run time 👍🏼 cheers mate
@@hookin no dramas at all mate.
I bought the 460mm haven’t used it yet.
I’ll let you know how it goes. Paid $749
Cheers for the reply
Appreciate the vid matey I'm buying.
No worries mate
To recharge them they should sell a camping solar panel so saves you money and better for the world the only down side is they got to mine for solar panels and battery’s but still good savings and you don’t still fuel

Looks like a good mower. I find the electric motors cut better at a higher level.
I’ve found the mower works well when it has the opportunity to load up in thicker grass. A lot of torque in the electric motor and cuts well 😊
Price?
I’ll text ya cuz
Would you recommend i but the Makita or ego battery lawn mower
I can’t really comment on the EGO as I’ve had nothing to do with them so it’s not my place to compare.

Just see how much rust spots do you have on the bottom of the deck.
Alloy deck mate 🤷🏽♂️
I just bought one and I can't move the height adjustment.
That doesn’t sound ideal, did you get to the bottom of it?
@@hookin yes I did, gotta hold ya tongue right 😜
@@StellasScrappyCrafts haha
@@hookin 🙂
Less chat more mowing
Copy that 🤙🏽
What model is this mower mate?
Hey mate, it’s a DLM537 👍🏼
Pretty sure you just wanted to show off the view out front mate haha
Haha, the vid would have went ahead regardless of the years being mowed but cheers 😅
NICE👍
Thanks ✌
Good review.
Cheers mate 👍🏼
FIFO worker for sure
Dido mate 👍🏼
Screw the mower....that LC is unbelievable.
Haha thanks mate, just tried to fill a gap with that mower review mate. It’s all about the LC 😊
Should have just bought a goat to chew the grass like your neighbors
Haha the old goat isn’t as effective as keeping the grass down as you would think 🤣
Too much chat.
Not enough action.
Stop yakking, get mowin.
😂😂 great comment, fair as well haha
What the hell throw that thing in the water see ya.
😂
