Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Brush Cutter — Bare Tool
Product Overview
The Makita XRU16Z 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless Cordless Brush Cutter is a high-performance outdoor power tool designed for cutting grass, weeds, and dense vegetation. It uses two 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries to deliver 36V-class power without gasoline, fuel mixing, or an extension cord.
A Makita-built BL™ Brushless Motor provides direct-drive power to the cutting attachment, while Automatic Torque Drive Technology automatically increases motor speed when additional cutting power is required. The tool also features three speed settings, allowing users to adjust performance according to the vegetation and application.
The XRU16Z is supplied as a bare tool, making it a practical choice for users who already own compatible Makita 18V LXT batteries and chargers.
Key Features
36V (18V X2) LXT power: Requires two 18V LXT batteries to produce 36V-class performance.
BL™ Brushless Motor: Provides efficient power and eliminates the need to replace carbon brushes.
Direct-drive system: Transfers motor power efficiently to the cutting attachment.
Automatic Torque Drive Technology: Automatically increases speed from 4,600 to 7,000 RPM when additional cutting power is needed.
Three-speed operation: Offers Low, Medium, and High settings for better control and runtime management.
Electric brake: Quickly stops the cutting attachment when the trigger is released.
Reverse rotation: Helps clear grass and vegetation that becomes tangled around the cutting head.
Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT®): Helps shut down the motor if the cutting attachment suddenly stops rotating.
XPT™ Extreme Protection Technology: Helps protect internal components from dust and water under demanding conditions.
Large cutting capacity: Designed for efficient cutting of thick grass and dense vegetation.
Cordless design: Provides freedom of movement without gasoline or an extension cord.
Bare-tool configuration: Batteries and charger are not included.
Speed Settings
The XRU16Z provides three operating modes to help users match tool performance to the job.
| Speed Setting | No-Load Speed |
|---|---|
| Low | 0–4,600 RPM |
| Medium | 0–5,500 RPM |
| High | 0–7,000 RPM |
Automatic Torque Drive Technology can increase the operating speed when the tool encounters heavier cutting conditions, helping maintain performance as the workload changes.

What's Included

1 × Makita XRU16Z 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless Cordless Brush Cutter

Batteries and charger are sold separately. Two compatible 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries are required for operation.
Brush Cutter Performance
The XRU16Z is designed for jobs that require more cutting capability than a conventional string trimmer. Its brushless direct-drive motor provides high power for tackling heavier vegetation, while the three-speed selector lets the operator choose an appropriate operating range.
The Automatic Torque Drive Technology is particularly useful when cutting conditions change. As the cutting load increases, the system can automatically raise motor speed to help maintain cutting performance.
Convenient Reverse Function
Vegetation can occasionally wrap around the cutting attachment during operation. The XRU16Z's reverse rotation function allows the operator to briefly reverse the cutting direction, helping clear tangled grass and weeds from the cutting head without manually removing the material.
Durability and Protection
Outdoor power equipment frequently encounters dust, grass clippings, moisture, and other demanding conditions. Makita's XPT™ Extreme Protection Technology is designed to improve resistance to dust and water entering the tool under certain jobsite conditions.
The brushless motor also eliminates carbon brushes, reducing one common wear component found in conventional brushed motors.
Ideal Applications
The Makita XRU16Z is suitable for:
Professional landscaping
Residential property maintenance
Heavy grass cutting
Weed and vegetation removal
Groundskeeping
Clearing overgrown areas
Trimming around fences and structures
Maintaining large lawns and properties
Cutting dense vegetation where a standard string trimmer may be insufficient
Why Choose the Makita XRU16Z?
The Makita XRU16Z provides the cutting capability of a professional brush cutter while retaining the mobility and convenience of the 18V LXT cordless platform. Its 18V X2 configuration supplies 36V-class power, while the brushless direct-drive motor, Automatic Torque Drive Technology, three-speed control, reverse function, and AFT® technology provide a combination of performance and operator control.
As a bare tool, it is particularly well suited to Makita LXT users who already have compatible batteries and chargers and want to add a powerful brush cutter without purchasing another battery-and-charger set.
Important: Use only cutting attachments and accessories approved for the XRU16Z, and follow the operating and safety instructions supplied by Makita.
