Bosch Power Tools Rotak 43 LI Questions & Answers

Sorry mate. I’m not expert in this. Try ringing the Service centre? Might not be worth fixing it though.

Sorry just seeing this post today.
I had the same problem with my 43li. It used to cut out every 10 seconds or so because the isolator (safety) key was not engaging properly.I replaced the key but still no luck then it just stopped working alltogether. As a last resort I took it to my local lawnmower repair man and he was able to connect the isolator key, permanently into the body of the machine and it hasn't cut out once in the last 2 years! You just need to be more careful from a safety point of view. Unfortunately my charger stopped working today(hence I found this site) and they aren't repairable and are expensive to replace!

Ours had a wire come loose, it was fixed by a friend and still works fine

It will but there's a cavete or two you need to think about. The longer you let it grow thus more you need to cut to get back to your chosen level will make things harder for it, so too long and it'll stall. In that situation you're better off taking the top off then cut again to your level. I've left it a few days in between cuts for those times where it's grown out of hand (ankle height).

More load then more battery used - or longer run time, more battery is needed. If I ran short then 30mins charge topped up to 80% and continued on. I think that only happened 4 times in over 5yrs when the wet season prevented mowing schedules. I used it on an old scratchy common buffalo grass that was terrible before softer buffalo grass was common. So Sir Walter buffalo should be easier than the punishment I gave the Rotak, it's just the density and length that might bite you (not forgetting area)

If you mow regularly it's not going to be a problem at all. Be aware it doesn't cut as low as you'd expect at some of the longer grass lengths. As it's lightweight it tends to sit on top of the grass till the catcher adds weight. None of the above was annoying when you consider how quiet it is and easy and manoeuvrable.

As Cobrin said. It really depends on the length you let the grass get too first.

I have no issues with my unit handling my Sir Walter. But I keep it regularly mowed. I don't find the issue of weight in the catcher affecting the mowing height too bad. But the grass is pretty dense and very well thatched at the moment.

No. However if you pulled it apart and managed to fit some sort of 230V AC motor it might be viable... Not recommended!

I purchased mine from Amazon in Oz yo can check out https://www.masters.com.au/product/101335264/bosch-rotak-43-li-cordless-lawnmower.jsp

I bought mine from Masters and it works great since having it fixed under warranty.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I found one at the Forrestdale branch. Not many store it. Thanks.
