Well finally some details about the first Mower offered by Milwaukee scheduled to be available in April.
Claims of 10ft/lbs of torque (more than a 200cc ICE mower) Highest was 8.3lb/ft (Ego I think)
It uses a 7-gauge stamped steel body (Most are 14-17 gauge or plastic!)
180 degree LED lighting with on/off switch. The presence lever recesses into a slot in the handle to reduce fatigue.
A full 21 inch blade (Most 21 inch class mowers have 20-20.5 inch blades)
It has a large battery charge indicator on the rear facing the operator for easy checks on remaining charge.
10 inch driven rear wheels, 8 inch front wheels all on bearings. (Most do not have bearings on the wheels but bushings)
1 to 4 MPH speed control roller knob and thumb/palm engagement lever (Engagement lever provides for a variable speed up to the max speed you set.)
A rear side discharge shoot to keep the width the same whether mulching, bagging or discharging.
The motor is set rear of center which offers easier lift and affords a bit more weight on the rear drive wheels.
Single point raise and lower from 1 to 4 inches in seven steps.
Of course it folds up for easy storage and transport and has a three position handle adjustment.
A “high lift” mode increases motor RPM to 3300 RPM for max lift.
The kit includes the mower, 2xM18 12ah batteries, a dual simultaneous rapid charger, discharge shoot, and bag.
It’s being marketed towards lawn care professionals with claims of 60 minutes runtimes able to cut 1/2 acre at an MSRP of $999.00 which for your average homeowner is quite steep. I’m stoked and plan on ordering as soon as it’s available what do others think?
