Makita XML08Z 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 21-Inch Self-Propelled Commercial Lawn Mower — Tool Only (Batteries and Charger Sold Separately)

Makita is expanding the line of cordless outdoor power equipment to include the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless Cordless 21-inch Self-Propelled Lawn Mower (XML08Z). With zero emissions, lower noise, and reduced maintenance, the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower is a welcome solution for efficient grass cutting. It's powered by two 18V LXT batteries (sold separately), and the 4-bay battery system holds up to 4 batteries for twice the runtime without leaving the 18V battery platform. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 2,800 RPM, and the Quiet Mode setting reduces noise by providing constant speed control at 2,300 RPM. It mows up to 1/2 acre using 4 x 5.0Ah 18V LXT batteries (batteries sold separately).

Tool Only — Batteries and Charger Sold Separately

This listing is for the mower tool only (XML08Z). It does not include batteries or a charger. To operate, you need two 18V LXT batteries, and you can insert up to four batteries in the 4-bay battery system to double runtime. If you already own Makita 18V LXT tools and batteries, this is the most cost-effective way to add a self-propelled commercial mower to your platform. If you're new to Makita, you'll need to purchase batteries and a charger separately before the mower can be used.

4-Bay Battery System and 18V X2 (36V) Platform

The 4-bay battery system holds up to four 18V LXT batteries for twice the runtime of a 2-battery configuration, and it does so without leaving the 18V battery platform that Makita users already own. Two 18V LXT batteries are required for operation, and adding two more doubles the runtime. Because the mower runs on 18V LXT batteries, it's part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 2,800 RPM, with a Quiet Mode setting that reduces noise by providing constant speed control at 2,300 RPM. Star Protection Computer Controls allow the tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

21-Inch Commercial-Grade Steel Deck and 3-in-1 Cutting

The mower features a commercial-grade steel deck that delivers the durability required for regular use on demanding properties. It features a 3-in-1 design for mulching, bagging, or side discharge, giving operators flexibility in clipping management across seasons and grass conditions. Quick height adjustments offer 11 cutting positions from approximately 1.25 inches to 4 inches (3.18 cm to 10.16 cm), covering the standard range of residential and light commercial grass types and seasonal cutting preferences. The 21-inch cutting width provides practical coverage per pass for small to medium properties in the 1/2 acre range.

Self-Propel and Build Quality

The self-propelled drive system with variable speed from 1.5 MPH to 3 MPH lets the operator match walking pace to mowing conditions and reduce fatigue on longer sessions. The Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is a protective seal inside the tool engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. The mower is backed by Makita's reputation as a top brand in outdoor power equipment, with 100K+ customers rating items from this brand highly, 100K+ orders in the past 3 months, and consistently low returns. Construction reflects Makita's professional-grade standards, with an alloy steel material specification and Teal color matching the brand's signature look.
