While not offered in a kit, you can buy each item individually from makita using their 18V line. I have owned a dual line brushless string trimmer and a hedge trimmer (They sell a hedge trimmer/string trimmer set that swaps out the head, probably has an edger head available also) and both have been great tools with 5 amp hour batteries. I wouldn't even consider cordless electric if you will have a big property since you will be swapping batteries often but for a typical tract yard, they work great.
It’s only a quarter acre. I should be able to keep a handle on it. Going to have to get schooled up on irrigation and citrus trees. Her house has Navel oranges, Valencia oranges, and lemons. Several different types of palms and shrubs.
Good Lord they are proud of their product! They do have some combo sets that would fit my needs, and then the mower. But dang they are expensive.
Speaking of irrigation and citrus trees, I don't know how your property is laid out or what's already there, but I worked with a guy who had a very nice orchard at his house and he explained to me that the leach field from his septic system is what did most of the watering. The citrus fruit and avocados he gave me were incredibly juicy with tons of flavor and he said they were also fertilized by the same waste water. I thought it was a pretty slick setup!
It’s all city sewer, water, etc. All of the utilities are underground. Makes the neighborhood very eye appealing. The fruit from the trees is very good. Going to be a huge change moving from single digit humidity up to someplace that always has dense fog advisories and heavy dew every morning.
Yeah, no one comes close. I have the EGO blower, hedge trimmer and weedwacker. Bought these about 3-4 years ago while I still lived in SoCal. I would use them almost on a weekly basis and they're still going strong.
Been eyeballing one of these for a while. Better than a bubbler I take it?
3 acres here, same trimmer. I find 3 5Ah batteries last longer than I’m willing to work if I put them back on the charger when spent. Used the leaf blower and trimmer to cut the brush 10’ on either side on my property and the neighbor’s (800-1000’ total) and it lasted most of the job shuttling back to charge. Just use the preset speed limiters to keep consumption down, no need to go full blast the whole time.
