    Thanks for watching, please like the video and it would be great to get your feedback on this or any other battery gear.

    For anyone interested, 2 of us out on an 8 hour shift of domestic maintenance got through 3 ap300s and 1 ap300 batteries. Wet, long first cuts too so was pleased with that👍Also I'm not swapping the guard 😂😂

    No I'm not running it 🤠👍.. its sounds really weak when you say it only lasts 33 minutes. But on in and out garden maintenance it will probably last all day . But then again you do 6 times more then what I do so it's a good job you got a spare battery or 2... 😂

    I dont get the battery brushcutters. When wearing the harness on my big Stihl 410 i dont feel any weight? Thats what the harness is for. Strim and brushcut all day with only a quick 2 min refuel, loads of power and run time. Hedge trimmers, small chainsaws i get the battery, Lawnmowers, brushcutters got to be petrol imo. Enjoy your vids though👍😉

    Hey everyone,
    I'm currently looking into purchasing the Husqvarna 525iLXT brush cutter and I have a question about its features. I've read about the three speed levels, but I'm wondering if it also offers variable acceleration. Specifically, does the motor adjust its rotation based on how much I press the trigger?
    If anyone has experience with this model or has information about its features, I would greatly appreciate your input. It would help me make an informed decision before making a purchase.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    • @LewisgardenservicesLtd
      @LewisgardenservicesLtd  2 หลายเดือนก่อน
