Sorting through the wide array of professional level string trimmers can be overwhelming. A lot of Pros are pretty brand loyal, so that helps when it’s time for a replacement. However, if you’re looking to switch brands, or perhaps you’re a property owner that prefers Pro-grade lawn care equipment, consider an Echo High-Torque String Trimmer like the SRM-2620T.
According to Echo, it’s a balance of low weight, high horsepower, and high torque that’s pretty unique in the string trimmer space.
Check out some of the brightest features below.
Echo High-Torque String Trimmer Noteworthy Features
- 25.4 cc two-stroke engine: Echo’s Pro-grade engine uses magnesium for the construction, reducing weight without sacrificing durability or power.
- Two-stage air filtration system: Two stages help keep the main filter cleaner for a longer time period and increase time between maintenance intervals.
- Tool-less filter access: Let’s face it, field maintenance happens. You won’t need any tools to access the air filter system, reducing the amount of downtime your trimmer has.
- Easy start-ability: A bellows style fuel transfer system reduces overall heat while a remote fuel tank vent helps prevent clogging and makes restarting easier.
- 21 fluid ounce fuel tank: Balancing the weight of fuel with having enough to avoid tons of fillups is an art. Echo goes with a 2o.6-ounce tank, which is on the generous side.
- Over-molded front and rear hand grips: Overmold provides grip security, comfort, and a little vibration reduction. You’ll find it on both handles.
- Speed-Feed 400 cutting head: Reloads quickly and saves a lot of the frustration that manual reloading systems have.
- 2:1 gear reduction: The 2:1 gear reduction increases the torque compared to other gearing ratios, making this trimmer a better bet when you’re working through thicker grass.
Features are great, but what about performance?
