Let me know in the comments below if you use the ECHO SRM-2620T or SRM-2620 in your lawn care business, and what you like or dislike about them?

I have the Shindaiwa 262 non T (basically a red echo 2620). Plenty of power for lawn care. Only time I wish it had more power is taking down tall weeds in horse pastures or fields. My Stihl 130 is better for that. I am just a home owner who likes quality tools. One thing I LOVE about the 262 is how light it is. I tend to like the true two strokes vs the Stihl 4 mixes. My echo and shindaiwa stuff seem to start better than Stihl stuff. Great video love the product reviews on both!

I don't remember the model but my last Echo trimmer seized up after many years of use. I went to a local echo dealer (not Home Depot0 and was told that my land and usage had pushed the trimmer well beyond its limits. We talked specs, engine size/weight, what echo recommended for my land/usage and what lawncare people use. I called Echo that evening and we talked for over 30min. I went back to the dealer and bought the 2620T and have been happy with it for 3yrs. I only use the Red Armor fuel. Trufuel seems to reduce power/compression and makes my 2620T clatter and smoke.

I am about to buy this trimmer and am torn between these two models.... Great video! This has helped with my decision!

If I needed a trimmer for just cutting lawns, the echo 2620 would be my pick. But I do have areas where I have to cut thick grass and weeds, so I would probably get an FS91R if I needed a new trimmer. I love my FS90R, it just cuts right through everything like butter. That 4 stroke power is hard to beat.

I just bought a 2620t today and also used it to trim and edge my yard. I’m upgrading from an old srm225 that’s not working like it used to. The difference in power is substantial. It does not bog down. It’s quieter than the 225, but does consume noticeably more fuel than the 225. But I still really like it. I walked into the store looking for a 3020, but they didn’t have any. But I’m glad I bought the 2620t.

Question...are the gear heads interchangeable? Can I put a SRM2620T gear head onto a SRM2620...if so is that the only thing that I would need to change?

[obeconoberougle]

Thank-you for doing this review. It's just what I was looking for. These are the exact two models I am considering and was curious as to the real world difference between them. I have a brand new Cub Cadet BC490 4-stroke weed trimmer/brush cutter and it's been working great. But I have an old Weed Eater brand weed trimmer that's seen it's better days and I want to replace it with a high quality Echo weed trimmer. The SRM 2620 will fit my needs and will save me some cash too.

[fralin]

does the motor have to be run higher on the t model to get the head speed ?

[mitchdickinson]

Thanks so much for the video! This helps me out a lot with my purchasing decision!

[locallandscapinglawncarel.]

Great video! I just purchase the srm2620 cant wait to get it running. I currently own a srm3020 and it has so much power for regular maintenance property, as well heavy for all day long use.
Hope this new 2620 works well for my business.

[kirkthebeerslinger]

Agree with your overkill comment on the 2620T... It works for regular residential properties, but it is almost to torque/powerful... Worth the extra money? Sure because it's nice to have that extra power, but if 99% of your properties are weekly subdivision lots - probably overkill

[peteperchulyn]

Have you noticed a lot of vibration in the 2620T? I’ve used the stihl 111 rx at my part time job for years and have an echo srm225. I just started my own company last year and just bought a 2620T today and it vibrates so bad I don’t even want to hold the handle. I’ve never felt that before in the other trimmers I’ve used.

[BigMike-Soetoro]

How about a comparison between the 2620T vs Stihl fs91r

[matthewbrady]

I just bought the 3020t a few. Weeks ago but I ordered the standard gearbox for it because like u said its overkill especially for the srm 3020 just not enuff speed unless for were I liked to run mine and thatz not wide open all the time

[JFPriest]

Going to buy the SRM-2620..Looks like it will be one of my everyday trimmers..Thanks Getting rid of (2 SRM 2400's.. )

[jonesey]

Sorry if youve already answered this. Do you feel the speed decrease from the 2:1 gearing hurts you in any way when compared to the regular 2620 non T version. Basically are you comfortable with just running the torque version all the time instead of the regular version. I’m considering doing just that.

[ousamaabdu]

Good video as always. 90% of my 60 accounts are Biweekly, would you suggest the 2620 or 2620T in my case?

[rickreyna]

Might sound dumb, but you think you can swap the gear head on a 2620 for a 2620t. Figured I’d ask someone that has both. Thanks in advance. Great video.
