MAKITA HAS THE SOLUTION

With Makita’s extensive range of outdoor power equipment, it is easy to find a machine suited to every task. The DUR369, UR101CZ and UR201CZ are high-power brush cutters that offer industry leading run and charge times – and with a range of innovative features included, users can experience ease of operation and improved safety.

The DUR369 is a Twin 18V brush cutter, powered by two Makita lithium-ion (LXT) 18V batteries that work in series to supply energy to the powerful 36V DC motor drive system – and deliver the high output needed to handle a wide range of jobs. In addition, the 36V DC motor drive systems in the UR101CZ and UR201CZ are powered exclusively by the PDC01 Backpack Power Supply, which houses four 18V LXT batteries to create a portable power supply that can keep operators working disruption free for longer.

The inclusion of a brushless motor in each machine ensures extended run times, as there are no moving parts within the motor that generate friction and therefore no energy is lost through heat. Makita’s 18V LXT batteries can also charge in as little as 22 minutes (for 3.0Ah batteries), up to 55 minutes (for 6.0Ah batteries), minimising downtime.

For ease of operation, the DUR369, UR101CZ and UR201CZ include Automatic Torque Drive Technology, which automatically changes the cutting speed according to the load conditions. Soft start, constant speed control and an electric brake also make these machines incredibly easy to control. The DUR369, UR101CZ and UR201CZ also include a reverse switch, so grass clippings that have become stuck can be effortlessly removed.

To protect users, the DUR369, UR101CZ and UR201CZ include Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) that works to shut down the tool if rotation speed suddenly slows down. The DUR369 also benefits from an electronic current limiter to prevent overloading.

For improved user comfort, the DUR369, UR101CZ and UR201CZ have been designed with an ergonomic handle. The DUR369 is also available with loop and bike handle versions depending on user preference.

When working across larger sites, the UR101CZ and UR201CZ in conjunction with the PDC01 battery backpack are ideal. Unlike other backpack battery systems where the entire unit needs to be recharged, the Makita system uses interchangeable 18V batteries, enabling operators to double or quadruple the run time of their work depending on the tool being used.
