Today we're going to be doing a review of the Echo 2620T. And here's the criteria. Is it durable? Is it going to make you money? As simple as that. A lot of times when you guys tune in, you're going to see my reviews in comparison to other guys reviews. I'm not going to be very technical because I don't [music] care if the engine displacement is 12.1 cc's or 12.2 cc's. [music] What I care about, is that thing going to last? Is that thing going to talk about some of the specs on this 2620T? This is one of the largest powerful in the Echo lineup. This machine was able to tackle some of the worst conditions I was able to throw at it. And it did it like a knife cutting through hot butter. But all this power and this increased fuel capacity on this machine leads to increased weight. Now, this is a pro and a con. The pro is, if you're going to buy one machine and you need something that can do just about everything in your line, this is the machine you're going to go to. You have tall grass, if you have to trim a ditch or something like that, you're going to want something that's going to be able to cut through it. But, if you don't need that extra power and you want something that's moderate weight or lighter weight, this machine is overkill for you. We have for example a site where it's 10 acres and it's all fine trimming that needs to be done. Between the two machines, our Echo 2620T and our smaller Echo model, the guys prefer the smaller Echo model for trimming short grass where they have to carry the machine for hours on end without setting it down. In that case, the extra weight on the 2620T becomes cumbersome. But, you can see during this clip that extra weight and extra power can give you versatility when you're coming into conditions and when you're trying to do more than just trimming small grass for hours on end. Now, when you hit the go trigger on this 2620T, it delivers immediate power. Kind of like a jet engine just taking off with Absolutely love the response. And as long as [music] you don't dive in, you're going to be able to handle just about anything you can throw at it. And this is also, even for a heavier machine, it is balanced the same as all of the other Echo trimmers in the lineup. Right at the center handle where you need You've got equal weight from the engine to the cutting head. It's well-rounded, versatile, but it's heavier, and that can lead to increased operator fatigue over the long run. So, if you need one machine with versatility, you're going to want to look at the 2620T. [music] But, if you never anticipate cutting grass over two or three inches tall, you might want to look at a lighter unit [music] that's easier to carry for longer periods of time. What do you guys look for when you're going to buy a trimmer? Please tell me in the [music] comments down below, and please subscribe and hit the like button. God bless.
