The Makita XML03PT1 is a 36V (18V X2) LXT brushless 21-inch self-propelled lawn mower kit with four 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid optimum charger. The 21-inch deck provides 17% more cutting width per pass compared to 18-inch models, improving productivity on medium to large suburban lawns. Six cutting height positions from 1-1/8 to 3-3/4 inches and a brushless self-propelled drive system are standard. The four-battery bundle eliminates downtime on large properties. Discontinued and replaced by the XML07 and XML08 series.
Why choose the XML03PT1 (21-inch) over the XML02PT (18-inch)?
The 21-inch deck covers 17% more area per pass than the 18-inch XML02, reducing total passes needed on larger lawns. For properties above 1/4 acre, the 21-inch deck significantly reduces mowing time.
How many batteries are included with the XML03PT1?
The XML03PT1 includes four BL1850B 5.0Ah batteries and one DC18RD dual-port rapid optimum charger. Run two batteries in the mower while charging the other two simultaneously.
Is the XML03PT1 discontinued?
Yes. The XML03 series is discontinued. The current equivalent is the XML07PT1 (21-inch self-propelled, 4 x 5.0Ah) or the XML08PT1 (21-inch commercial self-propelled).
What discharge options does the XML03PT1 support?
The XML03Z supports rear bagging (grass bag included), mulching (mulch plug sold separately), and side discharge for high-volume cutting conditions.
How does the self-propelled drive work on the XML03PT1?
The brushless motor powers both the blade and the self-propelled wheel drive. Engage the drive by squeezing the handle bail; release to stop forward motion. The self-propelled speed is fixed at a comfortable walking pace.
