Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT 17-Inch Cordless Lawn Mower
Efficient Cordless Cutting with Dual 18V LXT® Battery Power
The Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT® 17-Inch Lawn Mower provides a convenient cordless alternative to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Powered by two 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion batteries, this mower delivers efficient grass cutting without direct emissions, reduced operating noise, or the routine engine maintenance associated with gas-powered equipment.
A Makita-built motor delivers up to 3,600 RPM, while the 17-inch cutting width, 13-gallon grass catcher, ergonomic controls, and 13-position height adjustment make it well suited for routine residential lawn maintenance.
