Do you know if this cuts grass well? Using it like a scythe would be great. ?

This isn't the best grass cutter you can buy. It would be better to implement a string trimmer instead of a scythe Cut the grass, as if it were

Does anyone know the differences between the modular version and the non-modular Does it make sense to spend almost three times as much?

Quality that is top of the line
4/5

There's a lot of weight to it. As part of Makita's new-release collection, I also bought this one This is for This battery is a Makita 0ah. It's a beast - and the articulating head lets you trim large swaths evenly with ease. If your cutterhead is a little farther away from the hedges, you will find it easier to maintain a straight line, especially on tall hedges or large When it comes to thick stuff, you'll need If it is more than 34”, it can trip the anti-snap on the electric motor Upon a kickback shutdown, it proceeds to restart immediately with a release and a pull of the trigger, making it through on the second try. Featuring an excellent lever attachment system that did not need any adjustments to give a secure coupling with an exact alignment when fastened, the lever attachment system impressed me from the start. The only other system I have used is FMT, so I can't compare it with any other system, but as an engineer and tool junkie, I know quality when I see it. My only complaint is that there is no option to switch between views in the toolbar In this case, the articulating head is referred to as the unit, not the base unit The heavy nature of it makes it difficult to carry. A large part of that is due to the steel construction, which is great for durability, but not the greatest When the strap attachment point is reset to as far away from the power head as possible, the center of gravity stays close to the cutterhead, which could have been intended for safety, since if you let go and leave it hanging, the sharp end of this tool could swing up toward your head. When it comes to the electric power head, it has a power comparable to that of a 2-amp power outlet Gas engines built in the 22nd century A 25cc range is acceptable here. So far, my second set of batteries has never seen a faster drain on its batteries than I have. I like having the ability to store this tool in the garage or basement without having to worry about the fumes coming into my house. As a result, I believe we've finally reached the end of the era of small gasoline engine tools. I am waiting for the pole saw and brush cutter attachments, and I will review them as soon as they get to me.

The string trimmer should not be used
5/5

trimmer has a much wider range of uses than other string trimmers. While it can be a little awkward and exhausting to use, it is more accurate and faster at cutting grass and brush. You will not have any trimming problems with it. The case is quite large, and this can make things a little awkward at first, but you get used I would skip the string trimmer if you already have this hedge trimmer, except in cases where you need it for a specific use like edging. If you still have the same amount of money, get an attachment like an edger or mulcher instead.

My LXT yard equipment has grown significantly since I purchased it
5/5

This trimmer is very good. Having had great success with Makita LXT equipment for years, I switched to Makita LXT a while back. I'm not as happy with its power as my Shindawa boom trimmer, but it functions exactly like it. The larger blower and the cutlery with a 24 inch reach are also in my possession. We use all of them on a daily basis with no problems.

This is an unbelievably heavy book
3/5

It doesn't matter much more what I Despite its light weight, this tool is pretty As a result of the weight and balance, we returned the whole Makita set. Anyone who wants to try this should avoid it. In particular if you plan to use it to earn money by cutting your own Husquvarna is a better choice, according to me The batteries are much lighter and last for longer.

This book is worth the read
5/5

We installed the attachment on our battery operated unit, and it worked The work time needed to trim hedges and trees was reduced in half (and it made a better impression). We also use the extension cord with this trimmer so we do not have to worry about cords. This is a worthwhile purchase. Kudos to Makita for doing a good job.

Part is missing
3/5

Unit just arrived, but it does not have the black tip guard mentioned in I have updated As well, the part number I received was for I did not do the EN401MP, but CS1. They should be the same except that they're sold in different parts of the world. US-based, I am looking for a job overseas.

The ability to reach and bend is great
5/5

I was able to extend my reach and offer a wide range of cutting angles by adding this to the motor unit. * However, it is a heavy, luggable, unwieldy device. As soon as I saw the shoulder harness, I bought it.
