Makita expands outdoor LXT range: Leading power tool manufacturer Makita UK has introduced a new cordless lawnmower to its growing line-up of outdoor equipment. The 36V DLM538 LXT is a 530mm Lawnmower powered by two 18V LXT Li-Ion batteries in series to drive a powerful 36V motor and is ideal for public spaces and residential areas.

Featuring a 70-litre grass collection box, Makita’s latest lawnmower tackles areas up to 800m² with ease, so operators can cover vast areas without being constrained by trailing cables or mains power supply. With high no load speeds of up to 3,000rpm, this four-in-one machine offers cutting, collecting, mulching and rear discharge options.

This IPX4-rated mower is designed for British working conditions. The cutting deck is water resistant, and its large, high grip tyres offer improved ground contact to sustain high performance when working over muddy or uneven and bumpy terrain. The machine also features a 10-stage cutting height adjustment (20mm – 100mm) so that users can ensure the machine is optimised for the working conditions.

Operators can expect Makita’s customary attention to user comfort and handling with design features such as tool-less handle height adjustment, rubberised soft grip, and soft start technology included. For ease, the grass box has a grass level indicator to signal the correct time for emptying.

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita said: “Makita is committed to developing outdoor equipment that meets the needs of professional users. We are delighted to add further products to this segment, offering professional landscapers and groundskeepers with even more solutions when working on site.

INFINICUT® introduce Mk6 fixed head

March 28, 2022/in News, Press Release/by Louise Challiss

INFINICUT® introduce Mk6 fixed head: Following in the footsteps of the Mk6 SM34 Rotary Mower and Floating Head cylinder collection, INFINICUT^® have now extended the Mk6 features and mantra across their Fixed Head range.

Visitors to BTME were amongst the first to see the 2022 model FX range, which incorporates new features including CAN bus protocol, for improved operator control, enhanced reliability and even more superior cut quality.

INFINICUT® introduce Mk6 fixed head

Extensive improvements were brought about with the introduction of the Mk6 range, now available on the 22”, 26”, 30” and 34” Fixed Head pedestrian cylinder models. The electrical architecture has been completely overhauled, including updates to the battery, motors, controllers, contactor and VCM to deliver the robustness and reliability demanded by today’s turf professionals.

Incorporating CAN bus protocol into the design facilitates the communication logic, making the INFINICUT^® the world’s first professional mower with Bluetooth connectivity – enabling wireless interfacing and adjustments to be made via the InfiniApp, available for smart devices.

While the electrical operation and other features have been refined, the leading-edge cut quality now synonymous with the INFINICUT^® mower, remains. The in-house manufactured SMARTCut™ cutting reels are available in 7, 11 and 14 blade set-ups, with an optional contra-rotating groomer attachment available for alleviating grain and turf density problems. As with the floating head variant, the grass bucket is mounted on the traction unit providing a more consistent cut height and ensures the mower remains optimally balanced throughout operation and during end-of-line turning.

Available in four cutting widths, there’s a Mk6 FX machine suited to all types of surface, from bowling and golf greens to winter sports pitches. They are also both cool and warm season grass compatible. Alongside the renowned SMARTCut™ reel, a full range of compatible maintenance cassettes are available from the TMSystem™ collection – unlocking the full potential of your INFINICUT^® pedestrian mower or mainstream models of lightweight fairway mower into a system for complete turf refinement.
