Got a BCX4500 here in Australia, have a few 7.5ag batteries. Use it to clear electric fence lines for our pig paddocks. Beautiful but of kit. Love it
Nice One Josh a hour of continues strimming / brush cutting is enough 😀 that would have been ideal back in the on side grounds man days Thanks again
Thanks Darran, yeah for sure 👍🏼
I love this. Ego is the way to Go on battery equipment, they know what they are doing
I actually bought the US version of this same brushcutter about three months ago when it first came out here. Been running it on 7.5s, and I've never managed to run the darn thing out, it just goes *forever*, and has enormous power as well!
Thank you for the feedback, that’s great to hear 👍🏼
I have one also, can confirm it runs longer than I want to go on a 7.5ah battery. Impressive honestly.
Really good dementration well done Josh 👍
Thanks Nev 👍🏼
I've just ordered the Milwaukee M18 brushcutter, with two 8ah batteries. I only have long grass to cut, so should be fine! For the really thick crap, I'll continue to use my Husqvarna 535LK with the Oregan mulching blade! Was never sure about battery equipment, but i bought the Milwaukee M12 hatchet last year, and it has been excellent!
I got the BCX4500 here in Australia last year, at the time they were giving away free 7.5ah batteries. I've got a couple of 5ah from my mower and chainsaw so can brush cut all day.
Highly recommend this tool if you are in the EGO eco system.
I agree with the comment on the harness, i may have to upgrade that at some point. Especially as it puts all the weight on my old collarbone injury.
Good demonstration Josh, You were putting the Brush cutter through it's paces, over a hour from a battery that is good going, Great video ,go and grab your self a drink, Take care
Thanks Shaun, I don’t think he has recover as yet 😂
Please review the EGO commercial Pole Saw , I love seeing EGO product reviews such as this!
One thing to remember is every time you stop ie clearing something wrapped round the blade or going between areas etc allows the battery to cool and can give you 1 or 2 bars back. Had this a couple times with my ego stuff
Yeah same with any power source I guess, like a car battery. On this test we stopped the clock every time Josh stopped, but he never stopped for long, hence his fatigue 😂
I’ve got the Stihl KMA135, I normally use the second power setting for strimming/brush cutting, on a AP500S I reckon it lasts somewhere around 30-40 minutes.
That’s pretty decent 👍🏼
Looks good. I've used a Stihl FSA 130 before with the massive 40AH backpack battery. You really didn't need to worry about runtime with that. I think the battery alone was £1,500, though! I've got a Stihl 2-stroke Kombi engine with some attachments. Would like to give the electric stuff a go, but as it's mostly a hobby/ volunteer thing for me, it's just too expensive.
That’s awesome feedback, thank you. Yes it a bit of a jump to start with but once you’ve got the batteries and charger, it does then work out quite cost effective to add more tools.
Another great video! Thoroughly enjoyable! Which aftermarket blade is that, please?
To be honest it was the only one we had available and it doesn’t have a brand on it. 🤦🏻♂️
Just over an hour,on one battery. So, would need machine, and two batteries. Big outlay, unless going to get other Ego products. Also, how many recharges will the batteries take? All be keeping my Titan,I paid £100 for. Do have a few Greenworks items, and happy with them.
I would buy the EGO every time … but let’s be realistic here, that 10 A/hr battery weighs 3.4Kgs and equates to around 4.7 Lts of fuel or 9 hours of runtime in an ICE brush cutter.
Or, that battery in a commercial situation would be lucky to go 500 cycles before it becomes a short runtime dead weight, which equates to 1 year in a commercial situation. To replace a 10 a/hr battery in the UK is £470 which equates to 156 hours of fuel runtime in an ICE.
I feel I might have made a mistake, I like Milwaukee and all my workshop/diy tools are Milwaukee, I went down the route of buying a Milwaukee chainsaw. I now feel for my OPE stuff ego might have been a better choice as the range is so much greater!! Thought?
I’m surprised that one battery kept the machine going for that long, if I’d made a bet on that maximum of half an hour I had in my head, I’d certainly be a few quid down right now.
How much would it cost for 4 10amp batteries
Depends where you get it from, best to give it a Google 👍🏼 if you add up the fuel you would use in a year and workout how much your batteries, the batteries would cost about 18p each to charge as a reference.
Hard work testing EGO 😅
Haha yeah for sure. Shows its commercial capabilities I guess. Speaking as someone who doesn’t do manual work all day long 😂😂
Id say there are 3 questions the cost 🤠
Ego should advertise at the gym. Use are equipment and you are guaranteed to break a sweat 😂
Battery gear is ridiculously over priced. I find it amazing people are buying the disposable junk to be honest must have more money than sense.
🙉👍
Depends on their situation I guess. I personally would prefer to use battery gear as long as it’s up to the job 👍🏼
completely pointless strimming 12" off the ground who trim that high want doing again after two days give me petrol any day and cunt it close
The design specially of the battery pack and charger is terrible, I dont like it at all : (
I hate you electric tool videos. Electric garden tools are crap there over priced and it takes thousands of gallons of diesel to mine the batteries. You could spend £400 on a stihl Bush cutter and do the same job without having to pay and wait to charge them. Batteries tools should be kept to drills and impactors and small tool. Fuck the batteries. Rock on 2 stroke.
Hate’s a strong word, but thanks 👌🏽
They are not for everyone, some prefer petrol, some prefer battery. It’s good to be broad minded about these things as it’s not only about a personal preference, it’s about providing the information people need.
@@MachineryNation I'm not having a pop at you. I love your channel but bloody detest battery lawn care and cars lol.
Here in Canada, the base unit will cost me around $549 tool only, each 10A battery is retail $649 although I have seen a sales price of $519, the CH2800D dual charger will run me $249 but still need a/c source. I'm still trying work out how to schedule an electric brushcutter used through an 8 to 10 hr day. I have a couple FS131, and couple gas cans, and as needed I can top up the gas cans in between drives to clients. Whether its gas or electric will always need backup, last thing the customer will want is to hear me say - sorry, ran out of juice or unit's done, I'll come back tmw....
You know that 2 strokes produce more carbon emissions than cars do right?
Not an issue,with so few in use,compared to cars.It's a con,anyway.
