Built for heavy grass, reeds, and brush, the Makita UR012GZ01 is a high-output cordless brush cutter that runs on two 40V XGT batteries in series (80V max). A powerful brushless motor delivers cutting performance comparable to a 40cc gas unit without fuel, pull-starts, or engine maintenance. Three electronic speed ranges (up to 6,400 RPM) let operators match power to material, while Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) shifts RPM and torque on the fly to maintain productivity and runtime. Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) shuts the tool down if a sudden speed drop is detected, helping reduce kickback events. Constant speed control holds RPM under load, soft start smooths ramp-up, and an electric brake stops the blade in about 3–5 seconds. With IPX4-style weather resistance, reverse rotation to clear tangles, and a current limiter to help prevent overload, this XGT brush cutter is a strong choice for commercial grounds crews and municipal maintenance.

Grounds crews choose the UR012GZ01 for clearing jobs that overwhelm a string trimmer. The 80V (40V X2) XGT system delivers engine-class power with less upkeep, while ADT keeps the tool in the sweet spot as material density changes. AFT, soft start, and the electric brake support confident handling around rocks, posts, and uneven terrain. Reverse rotation lets operators clear the head in seconds instead of stopping to untangle. With low noise and no exhaust, crews can work in residential zones and occupied facilities. For managers standardizing on XGT, sharing batteries across tools simplifies charging and keeps this brush cutter ready for seasonal work.

Why Customers Choose the Makita 80V (40VX2) MAX XGT Brushless Cordless 19″ Brush Cutter w/ADT & AFT
Crews pick the UR012GZ01 when a brush cutter is needed for heavy growth but they want the simplicity of a cordless 40V X2 (80V max) XGT setup. The brushless drive, ADT, and constant speed control keep the blade moving through tall grass and brush with fewer stalls, while AFT and an electric brake support safer work around obstacles. Operators use the three speed ranges to conserve battery on light growth and push to 6,400 RPM in dense areas. With reverse rotation to clear tangles and a current limiter to help protect the motor, the tool stays productive in real-world conditions. For organizations standardizing on XGT, it provides engine-level clearing performance with lower noise, no fuel mixing, and less routine service.
