Anyone interested in this event? I noticed Makita and DeWALT are going.
Not exactly my trade but you can get a free bobcat beanie if you show up so I’m down even though I’ve had bad luck with the new bobcats. Kentucky is a little too far away. I bet we’ll see some DeWalt mower demos.
Yeah. I heard rumors of a dedicated Makita ope battery line. Rumored to be in the 54v range. I wonder if the rumors are true if we will see it unveiled here. I thought I seen Ego was attending so might get some new Ego stuff too.
Looks like there is a Bobcat giveaway happening haven’t read on the details about it yet.
if dewalts going then I’m interested
Not that I can justify going, but I would be torn about going… I like new tools, but HATE crowds…
last year tia and stanley dirt money went. Not sure about this year though. They made a few videos too.

Same. Was going to go to the world dairy expo in Wisconsin that’s going on right now but I had a bunch to do already at work and the idea of crowds at airports plus a couple hundred dairy farmers in one building is why I’m still at work. Fabtech might be worth the crowds though.

It’s not a rumour. It’s gonna be fact.
58v starting with a brushcutter and a dual battery backpack blower.
