Makita PLM4618 Lawnmower Reviews

Comment
I write a review immediately after the first use - 800 m2 with a grass collector, 100 m2 in mulching mode.
Grass height of about 40 cm, cut with a trimmer. The plot is medium-level. A grass catcher is clogged every 20–25 meters. Therefore, it is necessary to mow in the future regularly. It has a convenient window through which it can be seen whether the grass flies into it or not (this means it is clogged). In the mulching mode on the untidy site, when mowing the grass to the waist, I met a metal bar three millimeters thick and 15 centimeters long - he flew off into a plastic tap and broke it through :( He decided not to mow the untidy site :)
Grass catcher is quite large, two grass catchers = 1 car. Filled percent to 85 of the total. A convenient scheme - One mows and empties the collection box in a wheelbarrow, the second takes the car to the composter.
The automatic stroke handle is very comfortable, in general the mower is very ergonomically made, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. The speed can be adjusted both with the handle stroke with the left hand and with the speed control (always to the maximum, otherwise the mower badly mows high grass, this mode is for thick, thick low lawns, for leveling)
The wheels are wide, durable plastic, front with holes, rear deaf. Height adjustment in one movement - no need to adjust the wheels individually.
Engine Briggs & Stratton, power behind the eyes for this size mower, oil poured a fully synthetic SAE 5W-30, half-liter. Petrol AI-92 The silencer is excellent, 96 dB is stated, the mower is heard very softly at a distance of 15 meters, the child slept in the wheelchair while I mowed :)
I drove once to the earthen mound, the engine stopped, nothing terrible. The main thing is not to meet fittings or Kamel large, so as not to bend the shaft.

I bought a mower for 14270 directly from Market. Very pleased with the purchase, in my opinion, ideal for the price range up to 20,000, and not necessarily have a perfect lawn.

Virtues

  • Good motor, good build. The speed of movement is more than adequate. Mows exactly. On a rough lawn, the lawn mower responds perfectly. 7 mowing heights are suitable for almost every situation.

disadvantages

  • 1. No engine protection. On the second day of operation, a large granite stone was hit. The result - a knife resembles a saw, and the crankshaft eight. Solution - managed to remove the crankshaft from a similar engine with a dead piston. If a similar engine were not at hand, it would have been cheaper to throw a lawnmower into the dustbin.
  •  
  • 2. There is no wash hole on the deck, it is difficult to wash after use.
  •  
  • 3. It is not clear where to look for a knife for mulching. I did not find it in Citylink.The rest of this model seems to have not heard.
  •  
  • 4. On the high grass (more than 20cm) the side discharge clogs up, it is necessary to jam and clean, with the bag it is also not very convenient, since it is necessary to shake it very often, 5-10 meters depending on the vegetation.

Comment
The set of characteristics is a good lawn mower for a not very flat and not very overgrown plot.

STONES AND FITTINGS - death of the motor.

Virtues

  • It mows well, if the grass is not very high, then when mulching (nozzle included), it chops mowed grass so that it is not visible on the lawn and you can not collect it in the collection box, it is easy to wind up, self-propelled, without effort it goes even on an inclined section, except for mulching throw away the grass on the right side and collect in the collection box.

disadvantages

  • stalls on high (> 50 cm) grass, after a week of operation, a piece of iron fell under the mower's knife: a notch on the knife, a bent crankshaft, a hole in the crankcase. Off service voiced prices: cover - 2500 re, crankshaft - 2500 re, work - 3500 re. The new engine is sold (found 1 store in St. Petersburg) at a price of 7500 re. As a result, a new DDE WYS21 mower for 7500 re was purchased and the B & S 500 series engine on Makit was rearranged for half an hour, only the more powerful (4 hp) than the native one (2.77 hp). The lawn is examined with a metal detector.

Comment
I recommend for a well-groomed lawn. Easy to manage, copes a child of 10 years. Neat assembly, famous brand.

Virtues

  • Well start up, powerful, convenient drive.

disadvantages

  • Thick heavy grass (dandelion with clover) takes from the second, third time. All holes for grass ejection are clogged. Side ejection only for a low lawn.

Comment
Mowed a plot of 20 acres of clover with a dandelion, 40-50 cm in height. It coped in 3 runs. And without a grass collector, because it was clogged after 10 meters. We were mowing for 5 hours with a short break. For a lawn no higher than 20 cm will be perfect.

Virtues

  • Mows well, starts up with a half turn, self-propelled pleases

disadvantages

  • the grass catcher is quickly filled, it is not very convenient to put it in its place.

Comment
Before that there was Gardena 32, but somehow it was not very mowing, the grass was all in tatters. long chose, but for the money self-propelled was this. the lawn mower is not very heavy, self-propelled can be dispensed with, but there is an extra charge compared to 4617 less than a thousand, so it makes sense to buy this mower. Read the instructions, without experience, I started it in an hour. and so happy with the purchase.

Virtues

  • Easy to manage

disadvantages

  • Mows only not very neglected grass

Comment
I bought a self-propelled one, because it was necessary for parents, they are elderly people. Like the price and size. And in general, she justified the expectations - mowing down, quietly, but in good faith. More from this unit is not required. We will see what will happen by the end of the season, but is now satisfied.
