8 Best Makita Lawn Mowers

Petrol lawn mower with 4 horsepower engine. This is the most powerful unit, and it is worth noting that in this particular situation, its parameters are simply unnecessary. The mowing width has not increased, nor has the recommended area. Even the height adjustment has become more modest in contrast to other Makita models. But there was a completely collapsible design. The knives here are attached directly to the shaft, excluding the belt drive from the system. The motor is easily removed from the seat.The handle is detached and the most compact device is obtained, for which it is easy to find a place even in a small garage or shed. Assembly also does not take much time, especially if you get used to it.

Makita uses third-party engines on its gasoline models. These are Briggs and Stratton engines that have proven themselves well. The PLM4630N2 model uses the largest motor. Its volume is 163 cubic meters, and its power is 3 horsepower. This configuration gives a decent headroom. It is the margin, since the mowing area increases first of all. But the width is not the most impressive. Only 46 centimeters, which is too small for such a motor. He is capable of more. Note also the steel body and frame. Everything is assembled securely, however, as always with Makita. In this case, wheel drive would not interfere. The model is not self-propelled, although the engine could easily take on this task.

Makita rarely indulges buyers with budget price tags. But in this case, there was an exception. Yes, the model is not the cheapest, but given its technical parameters and the number of options, we can say that it costs quite reasonable money. This is a self-propelled petrol system with rear wheel drive. It is driven by a 140cc engine with a power of 2.6 horsepower. This is enough to mow 1400 square meters of area in one go. The mowing height is adjustable in steps of 5 cm, which makes it possible to fine-tune the tool to fit your needs. But the cutting width leaves much to be desired, only 46 cm. Not a little, but not the best result among all Makita models.

PLM5120N2 is the best lawnmower in terms of reliability. The number of wear modules in it is reduced to a minimum. All thanks to a special design in which the knives are connected directly to the shaft, excluding transmission belts. This is basically a very simple model. There is nothing to break in it, hence the high level of reliability. Petrol model without wheel drive. However, this cannot be called a minus, since the lawn mower itself is very light. At the same time, its mowing width is 51 cm, which is not the largest result for products from Makita, but quite acceptable for small and medium lawns. But the lack of a grass catcher can be called a disadvantage. The grass is thrown to the side and will have to be harvested by hand.

The DLM432CT2 lawn mower has a standard mowing height range of 20-75 mm - the most common parameter for all models of the brand, but there is also a difference here. Knives are exposed in 13 provisions. This makes it possible to accurately select the height of the overgrowth after the tool passes. It is difficult to say how much this option is necessary, but it is it that is the main advantage of the model. The tool also boasts a large grass catcher and a 43 cm track. Autonomy is average. The 5 Ah battery allows you to work for about 1.5 hours. Not bad, but definitely not the best result. But you don't have to buy batteries separately. Two pieces are already included.

DLM462Z is ​​one of the most expensive Makita models. This is a rechargeable electric lawn mower, with the most top-end features. The recommended mowing area is almost 2 thousand squares, and the track width is 46 cm. The knives are adjustable in height in 10 positions, allowing mowing from 20 to 100 millimeters. This is the widest range, especially for electric versions. The big, capacious accumulator will please also. It allows you to work for almost 2 hours, and in the kit there are 2 of them at once. As for the shortcomings, there is only one here - the price. This is the best lawn mower in all respects, but at the same time the most expensive. Hence the low consumer demand.

Electric lawn mowers rarely delight users with a wide range of settings. But not in this case. Here, the knives are set at 7 levels, cutting vegetation from 25 to 70 millimeters. This is the main advantage of the tool, but not the only one. We also note a fairly powerful engine that produces 1600 watts. It allows you to process up to 600 square meters at a time. The cutting width is also acceptable. 41 cm is not the largest track, but for models from this price and technical segment it is quite acceptable. The volume of the grass catcher has been slightly increased. 45 liters are calculated on the cultivated area and motor power. But the weight compared to the previous model has increased to 14 kg.

The best price and adequate specifications make ELM3320 Makit's most popular electric model. The parameters here are exactly adequate, since they cannot be called as high as possible. Cutting width 33 cm with a height of 20 to 55 millimeters. The power of the motor powered by the mains is 1200 watts, and the recommended mowing area is 400 square meters. This is a great option for a small backyard. The grass catcher holds 30 liters of mowed vegetation. But the disadvantages include a high noise level - 96 decibels for an electric model is very loud. But the lawn mower weighs only 10 kilograms, which fully compensates for the lack of wheel drive.
