Seems like a steep price for what looks to be the same assembly as brush attachment. I wonder if that can be modified by removing the brushes and adding blades without dropping $249 for a whole new attachment. .
Thanks for the video. I can recommend this tool. I bought it a few months ago and cultivated a pretty heavy compacted clay area. I wanted to break up the soil by about half a foot and then mix it with some compost to seed new grass. It worked great and I have nice growing grass :) Although I have to say that you have to put some force into the tool when operating in heavy soil. The tool gets pretty heavy after a while.
There are multiple attachment accessories that come in different brands. Is there an actual list of what is compatible with the Milwaukee Quik-Lok system? If not, is there an adapter out there available that will make that attachment compatible?
Hello, do you recommend this Milwaukee attachment capable for the south where temperatures reach 110-120 degrees Fahrenheit? Do the batteries overheat and stop working?
I wouldn't worry about the batteries I would worry about the hardnesses of your ground. If it hasn't been tilled before I wouldn't recommend it. If you are consistently tilling your garden then it will probably do the job. It's a trimmer at the end of the day
For instance I live in Iowa and Nebraska and when I tilled my mom's garden for the first time of the season I use an actual tiller then she uses a trimmer tiller. If you have hard ground the just plain aren't heavy enough with bad leverage. Usually want to till 6-9" deep
I bought this cultivator and tried it on heavy compacted clay soil in SE Pennsylvania. It works BUT 1) the batterie has kind of a movement / vibration, so when you take the batterie out there will be some white powder that comes from the plastic. 2) It works in heavy clay but you need to put some force into it and hold the machine down and believe me it gets heavy after a while. 3) It is not meant to cultivate big areas. I did use it for a bigger part but I would not recommend it 4) The heat you mentioned is never good if it gets hit by direct sun light but that counts for any tool or batterie 5) over all a nice tool if you have the trimmer and the batteries anyways.
Thanks for the great video. I would love to see it operates with a XC6.0 battery, if it has similar power with just shorter service time. Also, the cultivator's part# should be 49-16-2739 (instead of 49-16-2794 in the description). Thanks.
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I don’t have a XC6.0 battery to try. Also thanks for pointing out the typo in the description. All fixed. Thanks again for watching.
any new Milwaukee batterie will work great with such heavy tools. The runtime is also depending on heavy the machine is in use. I used the high output XC 8.0 and I could almost cultivate a pretty big area with heavy compacted clay soil. The XC6.0 will be less but the difference will be not the world
