Makita 40V XGT Lawnmowers
Makita 40V lawnmower kit for fast, tidy cuts on bigger lawns without petrol faff, built to match the XGT batteries you're already running on site.
When you're keeping plots, site cabins, and managed grounds looking sharp, a cordless mower saves time and aggro. Makita's 40V XGT lawnmowers give you proper cutting power with clean starts, less noise, and no fuel to drag about. Pick the right deck size and battery setup and you'll get a consistent finish without stopping every five minutes.
What Are Makita 40V Lawnmowers Used For?
- Cutting larger domestic lawns and plot gardens where petrol kit is overkill and you just want a clean, quick finish with less noise.
- Keeping site offices, compounds, and welfare areas tidy so you are not handing over a job with knee-high grass round the cabins.
- Mowing managed grounds and communal areas where you need reliable starts and controlled cutting without fumes near people or parked vehicles.
- Regular maintenance cuts through the season where a cordless setup lets you grab the mower, do the job, and get it back in the van without fuel spills.
Choosing the Right Makita 40V Lawnmower
Sorting the right mower is simple: match the deck size and battery setup to the lawn you actually cut, not the one you cut once a year.
1. Deck width and lawn size
If you are doing small, tight gardens with lots of edges, a smaller deck is easier to steer and store. If you are cutting bigger open lawns, go wider so you are not doing lap after lap and burning time.
2. Battery configuration and runtime
If you only need quick maintenance cuts, a lighter battery setup keeps weight down. If you are mowing larger areas, plan on higher capacity packs or a multi-battery mower so you can finish the job without stopping to swap and charge.
3. Collection, mulch, or rear discharge
If you are working on tidy plots and handovers, a decent collector matters because nobody wants clippings all over paths and patios. If you are doing regular cuts and want less waste to shift, mulching makes sense, but only if you are mowing often enough to keep the grass short.
Makita 40V Lawnmower FAQs
Is a Makita 40V lawnmower actually powerful enough for thick or damp grass?
Yes, for normal lawn maintenance it has plenty in it, but be realistic about conditions. Thick, wet grass will pull harder, so raise the cut height for the first pass and use higher capacity batteries if you want to finish without constant swaps.
Will my Makita XGT 40V batteries fit these mowers?
If the mower is in the Makita 40V XGT range, it is designed around XGT packs, so your existing batteries are the right platform. Always check whether the mower takes one battery or multiple batteries, as that changes runtime and weight.
How long will a cordless mower run before it needs a battery swap?
It depends on battery size, deck width, cutting height, and grass length. Short, dry grass runs far longer than a first cut on overgrown or damp lawns, so if you are doing bigger areas, plan on spare packs rather than hoping one set will do it.
Is it worth buying a kit or just the body?
If you already run XGT on other tools and have enough batteries to cover mowing time, body-only makes sense. If you are new to XGT or your packs are already tied up on saws and breakers, a kit with batteries and charger stops you getting caught short.
Do cordless mowers need much maintenance?
Not much, but do the basics: keep the underside clear of packed clippings, check the blade for nicks, and store batteries dry. A blunt blade is the main reason cut quality drops and the mower starts struggling in heavier grass.
Who Are These For on Site?
- Maintenance teams and facilities lads who need a dependable mower for routine cuts around buildings, car parks, and green areas.
- Landlords, housing teams, and caretakers keeping communal lawns presentable without storing petrol on site.
- Grounds and landscape crews who already run Makita XGT and want a mower that shares batteries with the rest of the 40V kit.
How Makita 40V XGT Lawnmowers Work for You
Cordless mowers are all about keeping blade speed up under load and having enough battery to finish the cut. With XGT, you are buying into a platform that is built for higher-demand kit, not just light garden jobs.
1. Battery platform and power delivery
Makita 40V XGT packs are designed to hold voltage under load, which is what stops the mower bogging down when the grass is damp or a bit longer than you would like.
2. Runtime is driven by grass conditions
Short, dry grass is easy work and you will get longer runs. Wet, thick growth and lower cutting heights pull more power, so if you are maintaining rougher areas, budget for bigger batteries or keep spares charged.
3. Cut quality comes from height and blade condition
A clean finish is mostly down to setting the right height for the season and keeping the blade sharp. If it starts tearing rather than cutting, you will see it straight away in the stripe and the collector will clog quicker.
Makita 40V Lawnmower Accessories That Save Time
A couple of sensible add-ons stop you losing time mid-cut and keep the finish looking right.
1. Spare Makita XGT 40V Batteries
This is the difference between finishing the lawn in one hit and packing up with a half-cut patch because the packs are flat. Keep a charged spare in the van and you are not waiting around for a recharge.
2. Makita XGT 40V Chargers
A proper charger setup lets you rotate packs between jobs, especially if the mower shares batteries with saws and blowers. It is the easiest way to avoid battery bottlenecks when the whole team is on XGT.
3. Replacement Mower Blades
Blades take a hiding off stones, edging, and the odd bit of hidden debris. A fresh blade brings the cut back to clean and stops you fighting clumps and clogging when the grass is a bit damp.
