Certainly our DLM431 with our 3Ah batteries wouldn't cope with that use-case - you'd probably have to do two passes.

I'm going to purchase another 6ah as it seemed to have more available power than with the other batteries. If your item is damaged, you must sign it as damaged with the courier and do not accept the package. Makita's acquisition of Dolmar in 1991 has also meant that we have one of the strongest histories in the Outdoor Power Equipment market and the plant in Germany constantly delivers tools worldwide to the highest quality. Our lawn is pretty tiny (maybe 200 square meters) and if it's not trying to take too much off it'll do it on one charge with our much abused 10 year-old 3Ah batteries (which are probably more like 2Ah these days! The DLM432 has a single lever 13 stage cutting height with adjustments from 20-75mm, and the 430mm (17") plastic deck is light, robust and rust-free.In reality the Izzy will likely go-its a stopgap that’s lasted about five years too long and it’s too big. If the motor can fully utilise the 5Ah batteries, I suspect it would go a long way towards solving the lack of torque. Obviously it is not as powerful as the old one and will not cope with such long grass but providing I keep the grass under control it is more than adequate.

For longer grass, it runs out of power (but really that's when I should be pulling out the 2x18v strimmer).Was initially impressed with it for maintenence cutting but I then decided to scalp it on its lowest setting (20mm) from 50mm and it had no power at all.
