Makita Brushcutter:

This is a diary of my use of Gavin's Makita Brushcutter. Thanks by the way :)

The most powerful Makita LXT is the DUR369A. The X1 is with cutting attachments
  • DUR369AZX1 36V (AZ No batteries and charger)
  • DUR369AGX1 (AG with batteries and charger)
Makita Brush Cutter LXT ® DUR369A
Makita BVrush Cutter LXT ® DUR369A with batteries.

Whereas the Makita is only about a tenth as powerful as the Sthil and the batteries only last a third of the time 0.7lt of petrol it is much lighter, it is not deafening so I don't wear the helmet with ear muffs. The shorter period of use, the light weight also mean it is easier to use, almost pleasant in that I don't have to hype myself up and I don't have to sweat. Definitely something I would have to consider buying. It's just the impact of having Li-ion batteries made ���
