Description
Two-stroke trimmers require constant fuel mixing and carburetor adjustments that cost landscape crews billable hours on morning routes. The Makita 40V max XGT 17in String Trimmer Kit delivers high-torque string trimming with zero emissions and push-button start. It spins a 17-inch cutting head. Commercial weed clearing requires large 4.0 Ah battery packs.
A commercial brushless motor mounts inside a die-cast aluminum housing at the rear of the shaft to balance tool weight. The drive tube houses a solid steel shaft supported by rubber-damped bronze bushings to eliminate high-speed harmonic flutter. The tool head pairs with a commercial rapid-load bump-feed trimmer head loaded with 0.095-inch diameter spiral nylon line.

- 17-inch cutting swath clears expansive turf perimeter weeds fast in single continuous passes.
- Rapid-load trimmer head advances fresh line with a simple tap on turf without head teardown.
- Solid steel drive shaft transfers rotational torque without twisting under heavy weed impact shock.

Brushless Motor Load Bench Telemetry
Spinning 0.095-inch line through dense fescue grass at full throttle pulls 26 Amps from the 40 Volt 4.0 Ah battery at 6500 RPM. Motor casing temperature rises to 118°F after 30 minutes of continuous weed trimming. The solid drive shaft transfers 720 Watts of continuous electrical power. Operating acoustic noise measures an ultra-quiet 70 dBA at the operator ear.
Turf Trimming Scope Fleet Protocols

- Clean grass clippings and mud from the motor cooling vents after every commercial work shift.
