Made my decision much easier! Thanks! Awesome Video!

Thank you so much from Downunder for your comparison. Cleared the confusion I had and I now know what I need. Awesome video. Cheers

Got the 510! 👍

Yes I run stihl and Honda in my business. I have a Honda hrx and a stihl fs 70 and fs 91r and I love all of them!!

Got to say, your information is first class. I'm in Scotland, so can buy from you guys, but you're really helping me make the right choice for my next purchase. Thanks so much.

I’m glad that we are able to help you make your decision enjoy your new machine

I’ve gotta say I’m so happy I went for the Honda HRX rather than any thing battery powered. Although I will say being able to store them standing up is a pretty sweet feature

Thanks for this amazing compassion video...I am looking for a mower and I have the scarifier that uses the AK series, while the rest of my pruning gear is AP series. I need more batteries for the scarifier ..so I think will get the AK mower so I have the same battery running after I scarify the lawn. Hmm

Great video! Thanks !

Thanks for the comment. Happy to help

Random question. Can you use the Ap series batteries on the Ak series machines?

Thanks for the explanation and I've been researching the battery mowers and I'm thinking unless we have solar power to recharge the battery's the petrol mower is still a better option. Then again if we have solar energy, a tiny garden with a lawn like Sir Walter then yes maybe.

great review thanks mate

What about parts availability, blades or what have you? One guy bought a Makita and messed up the blade and replacements are on back order for awhile.

In stock on the blades.

I guess it depends on what you want, outside of just the mower…and obviously the size of the lawn being mowed. I want to add at least a blower…I have a Craftsman 20V trimmer that’s working fine for now…but if it stopped working I’d probably add a Stihl trimmer as well. For me the 460 with the AK battery makes more sense. The mower, blower and trimmer and all less expensive. For what I’d save I can just add a fast charger for $110. The AP powered BGA 86 blower with battery and charger is $590, versus the AK powered BGA 57 with battery and charger for $200. I’m sure the AP powered one is more powerful, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that going to the “Pro” series makes sense for everyone.

460 is awesome

Carls ... can the larger 6 amp battery from the 510 be used in the 460 for longer running times? Is so will the 460's charger work with the 6 amp battery. I've used Ryobi hand tools for years, have found the slow charger works best for longer battery life, also Ryobi suggest if you can let the batteries cool over night before charging that to makes them last longer. I've got some 8+ year old batteries so there is something to letting them cool down before charging.

Those two mowers cannot share batteries. Stihl has several product lines that don’t share batteries.

Why isn’t the RMA 460v available in Europe?

Great review

As a heads up …… none of the Stihl dealerships seem to offer just the mower or just the chainsaw with out also having to buy the battery. It seems Stihl is almost forcing customers to buy a battery with each tool.

Fixing to replace transmission in a 510. Never replaced one before.

If I owned a small yard I think I would just get rid of the grass and maybe use some gravel. I am not signing on to a future of buying batteries batteries and more batteries for everything.. Already tired of charging my cell phone and went back to a landline.

Do they make 1 with a rear roller? Can't find 1 anywhere.

Doesn’t faster charging reduce battery life? If you are not in hurry you might prefer slower charger

What are the run time's?

@@Carlsmower the 460 mainly because of weight (I'm old) 25kg (460)v 27kg+(510). Yes, I could get a 510 self-propelled but I read that wet grass wrecks the transmission in self-propelled mowers (not necessarily stihl).Thanks. PS another factor is that I don't have an "armoury of garden appliances" and so the more powerful battery isn't an issue.

@@paulneri835 enjoy the 460. It’s a fine unit

Excellent presentation. Most information videos lack factors that are unique to different types of terrains. Mountainous inclines/ declines, flat terrains. Front/ Rear/ AWD capabilities, I find tire wear is an issue. I believe all lawn mower tires should have deep tread. Traction is very necessary to overcoming inclines. Wet grass also adds to slippery problems. I would like to hear about this in videos.

First like and comment whoooo! Great video

@@Carlsmower Thanks for understanding, it was mainly annoying just because the captions were over the top of the mowers you were showing! ;-) It's been pet peeve of mine, mainly with news channels that like to put their huge banner at the bottom of the screen even though it often may cover over the subject of the news report! Anyways, sorry I got annoyed, I know my own personal videos are far from perfect. I hope you and your company have lots brisk springtime sales! 😎👍 My mower died at the end of last summer and I've been procrastinating on buying a new one and my lawn is already too long so I HAVE to get out today or tomorrow and buy a new one so I can mow before the next rain! If you were a little closer I'd stop by your shop but it would be a 5 hour round trip so I'll likely get something at McClendon's or Home Depot etc.

It just needs tobcharge in a week

The stupid mandatory closed caption blocks the veiw of the mowers. We cannot see anythin you are doing with the mowers.

Live on a hill by a lake battery powered mowers, well do not work maybe in fifty years they will have enough power to actually cut like the gas mowers do.
