Garden Shredder Makita UD2500 2500 W 67 L Blade

The Makita UD2500 garden shredder is powered by a 2500 W motor and includes a 67 L collection box. Designed for reducing branches and garden waste, it offers a balance of power and capacity while remaining transportable at a weight of 27.6 kg.

Advantages

The shredder uses a Cut & crush system to minimise the volume of shredded material and features a user-friendly control panel with automatic anti-block and forward/reverse functions. Handholds on both sides and large rubberised wheels make handling and transport easier, while cut-outs in the container allow quick visual checking of fill level.

Suitable for

• Shredding small to medium garden branches and plant trimmings
• Reducing volume of green waste for easier disposal or composting
• Home garden maintenance and seasonal clean-up tasks

When it may not be suitable

This model may not be ideal for very large logs, heavy-duty forestry tasks or frequent professional use where continuous high-volume shredding is required. Very thick or hard wood may exceed the machine's cutting capability and could cause blockages despite the anti-block function.

Key specifications

• Motor power: 2500 W
• Collection box capacity: 67 L
• Weight: 27.6 kg
• Cut system: Cut & crush
• Controls: Automatic anti-block system and forward/reverse switch
• Mobility: Large rubberised wheels and side handholds

How to use

Place the shredder on a level surface and ensure the collection box is correctly fitted. Switch the machine on via the control panel and feed branches and trimmings into the input chute, avoiding material thicker than the manufacturer's recommended maximum. Use the forward/reverse switch if material becomes stuck, and allow the anti-block system to operate. After use, switch off and disconnect power before emptying the collection box and performing any cleaning or maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Match motor power and cutting system to the typical size and hardness of garden waste you will process
• Consider the 67 L collection capacity relative to how often you want to empty the box
• Account for the unit weight (27.6 kg) and need for transport or storage space

Usage recommendations

Use protective gloves and eye protection when feeding material; avoid processing wet or very fibrous material to reduce clogging, and trim branches to recommended diameters for best performance.
