2x20V lawn mower

20v?!?! Where's the 40v?

[Pouet]

It's seem to be a 2x20V : 

 

[Big Adam]

Can fit two FVs in there.

[BigTuras]

Is that a 20", was hoping for a 21".  It seems a little small, also very non existing looking.

[Big Adam]

A 60V mower would be just willy-waving. If what you're cutting needs 60V, you shouldn't be using a mower.

Given Dewalt's entire OPE range to date has both 20V and 40V versions, I'd lay money that a 40V model is not far behind this.

But a 2x 20V model is just what I'm after. I'm assuming the quoted 1/4 acre runtime is for 2x 5Ah. Stick a couple of big FVs in there and I guess the runtime would (broadly) scale up accordingly.

Think we'll ever see a rider mower powered by FV? Similar to the Ego that's currently on the market?

Gotta learn more about it....glad they made one..just not eye catching 

[BigTuras]

They actually have a FV chainsaw/trimmer/blower so they have all three platforms in OPE.

[Jronman]

You could say atleast they have a mower but then you wonder why 20vx2 first and not 40v or 60v

[Big Adam]

Possibly because homeowners outnumber landscapers 100,000:1 ??

 

60V tools are a big hit but overkill for majority of homeowners who've already bought into 20V

40V is for the professional landscaper/maintenance guy

20V is where the mass market is.

It will be a while before the pro landscaper even gives a glance towards battery power tools.  I recently saw a video of a Makita chainsaw with two 18v batteries cutting a 6x6 and it was laughable.

 

When I owned a tree svc I used to send all my saws out to be ported to get more power out of them, even the 088.

Man I love my team yellow but then again I love my Ego mower can wait to see some reviews on it

[Framer joe]

Take a lot to get me outta ego for lawn care....but that mower won't do it...I do like my 20v  ope stuff .....but ego rocks

[Jronman]

This one seemed like a miss to me. It does have good looks though. I would miss using a side chute.

[kornomaniac]

Can anyone tell me how many square meters a quarter acre is ?

[Jronman]

@kornomaniac about 1000 sq meters

[kornomaniac]

Thanks ! Nice !

Some UK sites indicating a stock date of March 9th for the DCMW564:

Ray Grahams

Some nice shots of the European (18V XR branded) version on Tooled-Up

£360 (US$488) for the bare tool though! Ouch! 

 

[Jronman]

There is also a version that uses the 40v battery platform.

This looks great. I hope it works well because it would be handy to have. 

[Jronman]

Steel decks on cordless mowers are increasingly rare. To have a steel deck on both models is nice.

I would buy one but I have fake grass

An Email just popped into my inbox, Acme has listed the 2 X 20 volt mower for $ 399:

If my old gas powered mower ever dies, this might get a serious look, no engine to maintain, it takes the same batteries I already have. Seems like  it is a little more expensive than a basic gas powered mower, but less than most higher quality mowers.

Thats not a bad price at all. I think my gas push mower was around the same price. It does have powered rear wheels with Toro's personal pace system which this doesn't have.
