2026 Makita GRU05Z

80V max (40V max X2) XGT Brushless Cordless Brush Cutter, Tool Only

APPLICATIONS: High-powered brush cutter designed for heavy growth in farm, ranch, and forestry applications
POWER: Makita-built brushless motor delivers the power of a 40cc gas brush cutter
DESIGN: Bike handle design for improved grip and more ergonomic working position
DURABILITY: Steel drive shaft for less vibration and longer equipment life
INCLUDES: 10" brush cutter blade and harness

The 80V max (40V max X2) XGT® Brushless Brush Cutter (GRU05Z) is engineered to provide the power equivalent to a 40cc brush cutter, but with lower noise, less maintenance, zero emissions, and no pull starts. It also has lower weight than a comparable gas-powered brush cutter. It can deliver to 100 minutes of run time with two 40V XGT® 4.0Ah batteries (batteries not included).

The GRU05Z has a bike-handle design for improved grip and a more ergonomic working position and includes a 10” steel four-tooth brush cutter blade for cutting grasses, shrubs, and underwood.

The Brush Cutter has a variable speed trigger and three speed settings (Low: 0-3,500 RPM, Medium: 0-5,000 High: 0-6,400 RPM) for power and run time management. In addition, users can set the Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode, which automatically shifts from 3,500-6,400 RPM for extended run time or added power. It also features a reverse function that quickly clears the trimmer head of entangled grass and weeds.

The steel drive shaft is engineered for reduced vibration. For added durability, it features IPX4 weather-resistant construction, and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) engineered for improved dust and water resistance.

XGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40v max lithium-ion batteries. XGT® is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.
