Makita brush cutters
Professional cordless, done right
The Japanese power-tool giant whose LXT and XGT battery platforms make it the go-to for professional-grade cordless brush cutters.
Makita is the Japanese power-tool giant that has arguably done more than anyone to make cordless credible for professional use. Its huge 18V LXT and 40V XGT battery platforms power hundreds of tools, brush cutters included.
What Makita does best
Makita’s advantage is the ecosystem. If you already run Makita drills, saws or blowers, adding a brush cutter that shares your batteries is a no-brainer. The build quality is trade-grade, the brushless motors are efficient, and the twin-18V machines deliver 36V performance while keeping the familiar LXT batteries.
LXT or XGT?
LXT (18V) is the enormous, established platform — the safe choice for most. XGT (40V) is the newer high-output system aimed at the most demanding professional applications. They are not cross-compatible, so pick your platform deliberately.
