You always had to have lots of fuel in so it didn't cut out when turning it on its side to do the edging and it sucked to start and hurt my back doing edging coz of the short and bent shaft. This new one however is farking ace! Made the heaps faster, doesn't need hearing protection and didn't need to put fuel in it. I'm pretty chuffed! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81090-cool-stuff-you-just-bought/page/490/#findComment-1669310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some stuff it struggles with (we were in a much smaller place when I got it) but being able to just press a button and go is pretty awesome. Yours is more higher end than mine though.I got a Bosch that had the same batteries as my drill and impact driver, so always have plenty of batteries ready to go.

I've currently got: Mower Trimmer with edger and pole pruner attachments Chainsaw Blowervac Pressure washer. 1 x 2.4ah and 2 x 5ah batteries (and would love another and the fast charger) 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81090-cool-stuff-you-just-bought/page/490/#findComment-1669318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I reckon I'll be fine with the other 2ah battery that comes with the mower. Supposed to run for like 30-40mins in the mower, which will be plenty. Kinda also tempted to sell my Ozito Blower so I can get the Victa skin so I'll only need to worry about charging one type of battery. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81090-cool-stuff-you-just-bought/page/490/#findComment-1669319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
