Makita XML08 18v x2 36v 21" self propelled lawn mower review | Commercial grade

We take a look at the Makita XML08 mower on their 18v LXT x2 platform. Essentially it's a 36v mower targeted at the commercial / contractor market. It seems to be largely misunderstood and mistaken due to be taken in under the general consumer eye. Although not a large market exists for the commercial battery powered lawnmower, if you are looking for a good quality, well built, powerful reliable battery powered lawnmower, this one is the one to get (if you're in the makita platform). Even if you're not in the makita platform it could be a good way to get into with the promo kit, since it includes 4x LXT 18v batteries and a dual charger. This mower was purchased in kit form of XML08PT1.
