Makita DUR368 36V (18Vx2) Brushless U-Handle Line Trimmer – Industrial Grade

The Makita DUR368 is a high-performance cordless line trimmer engineered for professional landscaping and heavy-duty estate maintenance. Powered by Makita’s advanced 36V (18V x 2) Li-ion platform, this machine features a signature Outer Rotor Brushless Motor, which places the rotating mass on the outside of the stator for increased torque and smoother rotational speed. This industrial-grade power unit delivers a no-load speed of up to 6,500rpm, providing the cutting force of a petrol-driven equivalent without the associated noise, emissions, or vibration.

The DUR368 is equipped with Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT), an intelligent system that monitors the load on the cutting head and automatically adjusts the speed and torque for optimal performance and battery efficiency. The U-Handle (Bike Handle) configuration is specifically designed for clearing larger, open areas, offering superior leverage and reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Protected by eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT), this commercial landscaping solution is reinforced against dust and moisture, ensuring reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions.

Intelligent Control & Ergonomic Efficiency

The Makita DUR368 system features a multi-function control panel, giving the operator fingertip access to 3-stage speed control and a critical reverse rotation switch—a vital feature for quickly clearing tangled grass from the spindle without manual intervention. For professional results, the trimmer is supplied with a high-durability nylon head and a comfortable shoulder strap, ensuring balanced weight distribution and precision control when navigating around obstacles or trimming dense vegetation.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

  • Outer Rotor Brushless Motor: Delivers superior power-to-weight ratio and mechanical efficiency.
  • ADT (Automatic Torque Drive): Real-time power adjustment based on grass density for maximized battery life.
  • XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology): Enhanced resistance to water and dust for all-weather reliability.
  • 3-Stage Speed Control: Allows the operator to match the speed to the application (Hi/Med/Lo).
  • Convenient Reverse Switch: Instantly untangles grass and debris from the cutting head.
  • U-Handle Ergonomics: Optimized for sweeping motions across wide terrains and large-scale clearing.

Why does this trimmer require two 18V batteries instead of one?

By using two 18V batteries in series, the machine operates at a powerful 36V. This provides the high torque and RPM required for heavy-duty trimming that a single 18V battery cannot sustain, all while using your existing 18V LXT battery ecosystem.

What is the benefit of the U-Handle over a Loop Handle?

The U-Handle (or Bike Handle) allows for a wider, more natural 'scything' motion. It is the preferred choice for large open areas and paddocks as it reduces strain on the operator's back and arms when used with the included shoulder strap.

How does 'Automatic Torque Drive' (ADT) help during work?

ADT senses when the grass gets thicker and automatically increases the motor's torque. When you move back into lighter grass, it lowers the power to save battery, meaning you don't have to manually change speeds constantly.

Can I use metal blades on the DUR368?

Yes, the DUR368 is compatible with certain Makita metal brush cutter blades (sold separately), thanks to its high-torque motor and standard M10 x 1.25 LH spindle thread.

What does 'XPT' actually protect against?

XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology) is a series of seals and internal channels designed to divert water and dust away from critical electronic components, allowing you to work in light rain or dusty environments.

How long will the batteries last per charge?

Using two 5.0Ah batteries, you can typically expect 25–40 minutes of continuous runtime on 'Hi' speed, and significantly longer (over an hour) in 'Lo' or 'ADT' modes, depending on the thickness of the vegetation.

Is the DUR368 motor located at the top or bottom of the shaft?

The motor is located at the top (near the batteries). This improves the balance of the machine and protects the motor from direct impact, moisture, and debris found at the cutting head.

What should I do if grass gets wrapped around the head?

Use the reverse switch on the control panel. This will rotate the head in the opposite direction for a few seconds to loosen the tangle, allowing you to continue working without stopping to manually clear it.

Does the 'Skin Only' (DUR368AZ) version include a charger?

No. The DUR368AZ is the tool only. If you need batteries and a charger, you should select the DUR368APT2 kit, which includes two 5.0Ah batteries and a dual-port rapid charger.

Is this trimmer quieter than a petrol model?

Significantly. The brushless motor produces much less noise and zero exhaust fumes, making it ideal for use in noise-sensitive areas like schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods.

What is the maximum line thickness I can use?

The nylon head is designed to accept line between 2.0mm and 2.4mm. For heavy-duty clearing, 2.4mm line is recommended for better durability against thick weeds.

Do you offer trade pricing for professional landscaping businesses?
