Makita DUR368AZ Twin 18V Brushless Cordless Brushcutter Review

[@alejandrorobles4132]

Hola. En castellano podría ser o español . Soy Argentino y quiero comprar una desbrozadora 4 en 1 a batería

[@briand4613]

I've just bought one of these this week, and used it to clear a 200m2 area and it was great, mix of grass, weeds and brambles.

[@fiveminuteman]

They are good and much nicer to use than the gas ones

[@wayward-saint]

Just cut 2.5 acres of meadow with a Stihl grass cutter blade on my Makita 368. Mostly used medium speed, only went to high for really thick stuff. The stihl grass blade is awesome, bogs down much less than the Makita stock brush cutter blade.

[@adfjasjhf]

I'm curious, which blade exactly do you mean? I found multiple shapes that they offer. Could you say which one do you use exactly? I'm really thinking of buying this.

[@bradl1982]

Thanks for the review. I think I’m going to get one of these and the makita small chainsaw to clear the mess behind my house.

[@fiveminuteman]

It's great kit👍

[@dman2537]

I use a gas powered commercial grade Stihl at work. I am curious what is the difference in vibration from electric to gas for trimmers?

[@fiveminuteman]

Suppose to be less vibrations, but if you have unbalanced blades the vibrations are the same.

[@rlrihards948]

DUR369 vibration with unbalanced blades (or even damaged on one side a bit) is noticable for me only at 1st speed. 2nd and 3rd is too fast to affect anything.

[@zordanmarko707]

Can I use this Makita grass trimmer for surface around 25 are?

[@edwardsmith8440]

I have noticed frequency's from Brushless motor's.

[@fiveminuteman]

Cool👍

[@AbellTo]

Looks great, thanks for this. I’ve been looking at the loop handle version.

[@fiveminuteman]

They are fantastic. I got mine without the batteries just the brushcutter. I already had two 5ah batteries from buying a Makita drill from Screwfix. People were buying the drill set just for the batteries when it was on offer.

[@AbellTo]

@@fiveminuteman I did the same and sold the drill body, I have 2 already 😂

[@Station2066]

Best review yet. Thank you.

[@fiveminuteman]

Cheers👍

[@KlausBioMadsen]

Thanks for the review! Is it equally powerful to the gasoline version? Is it powerful enough to clear light bush/brambles etc?

[@fiveminuteman]

It's equal, batteries last longer with brushcutter blade than strim line. I bought extra set of batteries.

Hi, I saw your Oregon mulching blade review last year and I was wondering whether to get the lightest one in the range (the 3mm two-blade) for my Makita DUR369A. Maybe you're right, maybe it's best to stick with the blades that Makita recommends. These Makita battery brush cutters aren't cheap to replace. Have you been tempted to try your mulching blade on it? Also, I'm not really sure whether to use the auto-torque (ADT) setting or not. I've just left it off because I haven't had time to experiment with it. Do you use the ADT? Thanks.

[@fiveminuteman]

I'm holding off using the mulch blade on my battery Makita, as most the time i use it on the petrol one. ADT i don't use, might experiment with it soon.

[@246rs246]

what is the battery live with cutting line ?

[@fiveminuteman]

Fantastic👍

[@iknowsitall]

Just answer the man

[@Murphy-1066]

Can you use in rain?

[@fiveminuteman]

Hmmmmmm, personally i wouldn't as don't brushcut when raining.

[@jopperdepopper]

What's your experience with battery duration when using the trimming wire? How long does one charged pair of batteries last?

[@fiveminuteman]

Haven't tried it with trimming wire as only brushcut, wire will give much lower runtime on the 5ah battery set. Runtimes are listed in the video for the brushcutter.

[@florinelr8154]

Hello sir what speed are you using with the disc in this video ? Thanks

[@fiveminuteman]

From memory medium with occasional auto speed👍

[@Mally..]

DUR368AZ or DUR369AZ for £50 more?

[@fiveminuteman]

What's the difference?

[@kevinansell9341]

Great content :)

[@fiveminuteman]

Cheerz👍👍
