Excellent !
Been looking for this video. Not surprised you would be the one to do it.
Thank you friend.
Been subscribed 🔔
and watching for months 👍
Glad it helped. I appreciate you being subscribed and watching my videos. Thanks.
Thanks so much for the video! This helps me out a lot with my purchasing decision!
Glad you found value in the video. Thanks for watching.
I am about to buy this trimmer and am torn between these two models.... Great video! This has helped with my decision!
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.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching.
Seriously excellent comparison!
Glad you found value in the video. Thanks for watching.
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.
I love both the 2620 and 2620T. Don’t think you can go wrong with either. Thanks for watching.
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!
Thanks for the feedback. I agree the echo stuff ie easier to start than the stihl 4 mix. Like you my stihl km110 has more power than the 2620 but it’s a much bigger engine. The 2620T is all the advantages of the 2620 with the same torque I’d say as the much bigger and heavier stihl.
Great video!!
Thanks for the feedback and for watching.
Going to buy the SRM-2620..Looks like it will be one of my everyday trimmers..Thanks Getting rid of (2 SRM 2400's.. )
Nice! Either one is a good choice and both are great machines. Thanks for watching.
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.
Nice. Yes the four stroke stuff is powerful just extra maintenance with valve adjustments. Thanks for watching.
Good information
Thanks for watching.
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
The 3020 is a beast. I actually use the 2620T everyday in my business. I like the extra torque for edging with the trimmer. Thanks for watching.
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.
The 2620T is my favorite. Perfect balance of weight to power. The 3020 is a monster. It’s really overkill for regular maintenance. I believe it’s actually classed as a brush cutter. Thanks for watching.
Just bought 2620T
Good stuff
Thanks for watching Tony.
Love my T!!
Me too. It’s been my favourite trimmer that I’ve used the 16 years I’ve been in business. Thanks for watching.
Good video as always. 90% of my 60 accounts are Biweekly, would you suggest the 2620 or 2620T in my case?
Tbh I’m looking into upgrading I will probably just go with the 2620T since it’s a few dollars more why not have that extra torque in handy…I know stihl is one of the best in products but I wanna stick to echo I like the looks more and I do mainly residential thank god it hasn’t ever backed down on me and I use a 225 !:)
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
Thanks for watching.
I dont know man our pas 2620's only problem is no string is strong enough. Im not sure the attachments gearing ill look at the shape of the head tomorrow for clues
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.
No noticeable speed difference. In fact I prefer the “T” model and have used it everyday as my main trimmer the last few years. Thanks for watching.
The t model is slower. We have both and the t model is brand new.
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?
Anther CZcams channel says yes they are interchangeable, you can upgrade to the high torque gear head. Gwinnett Lawns is the channel.
I love every about both of these models except the trigger. I wish echo would use the shindaiwa trigger & grips
Why?
It's too bulky, it puts your hand to sleep. Well atleast it does mine. Other than that I love everything about it
Ohh ok just wondering
Both are great trimmers. I don’t have a issue with the trigger. Thanks for watching.
I too dislike the Echo trigger grip assembly. The Shindaiwa is nothing more than the old Echo trigger grip assembly.
How about a comparison between the 2620T vs Stihl fs91r
Sorry I don’t have a fs91r to compare but seriously the 2620T has been the best trimmer I’ve ever used. Tons of power to handle anything and super reliable with zero maintenance. I can’t say that for any of my past Stihl equipment. Thanks for watching.
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.
I have not done it but I’d say yes for sure considering that’s the only difference between the two machines. Thanks for watching.
I just got a echo 2620T weed eater. My question is ❓ can I use the attachments on my 2620T for example can I connect the echo power pruner chainsaw on my echo 2620 T ????
If it’s a 2620T as in the dedicated string trimmer then no it does not use attachments. You would need to buy the PAS-2620 power head to use interchangeable attachments. Thanks for watching.
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.
I don’t use the 2620T anymore or any gas trimmers for that matter but during the years I did it was a good unit and lack of vibration was always one of the things I liked most about it. The combination of the black Diamond line with the rubberized grips and flexible D handle did a great job at minimizing vibration. So I’d say it definitely sounds like something may be off with yours. Thanks for watching.
@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess It had the black diamond line in it. It ended up being the line somehow got tangled up in the speed feed head from the factory and there was more in one side than the other throwing the balance off. So I pulled it all out and threaded it back up and it was good to go. Something to remember even for your battery stuff as I’m sure it would have the same result in this situation.
does the motor have to be run higher on the t model to get the head speed ?
I’ve never really noticed it having to work harder. Sounds about the same as the non T model. Thanks for watching.
got a 2620 Its awesome
Awesome. It’s definitely a nice machine. Thanks for watching. 👍
Gracias por la traducción al español
De nada
Have you ran a blade on the T model?
No I have not. Thanks for watching.
Hey can you make a video using both of the trimmers in some tough grass if you don't mind.
I’ll keep it in mind for when I get a tall grass lawn to mow this season. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching.
Lawn Care Business Success no problem and I appreciate that, I just order the echo 2620t and will be making videos this spring
2620t is the best weedeater i have ever owned
Same here. Thanks for watching.
The only difference is noticeable when you have no guard. The T models can handle extremely long string more easily.
I disagree. I notice the difference between the two right away. Even with the guard on. Especially when it comes to edging with them. The extra torque of the T model is awesome. Thanks for watching.
I prefer the regular 2620
Both great machines, but the 2620T is probably overkill for regular weekly maintenance clients. Thanks for watching.
@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess Yes I totally agree and the T model feels a little heavier I have 2 srm266T models and they are great trimmers but there not light there a bit heavy but we still use the heck out of them.
@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess Thank you for the review
@@victorrippe5845 Unpopular opinion ill use my 266t's over 2620t, they have much less vibration due to the steel shaft vs the 2620's flex cable.
@@Jszul2318 The echo 2620T is a much better unit and lighter then the 266
🤑👍
Thanks for watching! 👍
The 2620t is way better, I don't have much nice to say about the regular 2620 at all
I always preferred the 2620T as well when I was using gas trimmers. Now I prefer to use battery stuff. The new Kress Commercial 60v line is amazing. More power then these ECHO gas models, with barely any noise, no stinky two stroke fumes and amazing battery life with crazy 8 minute recharge times when using there mobile cyber tank system or 12 minutes using the standard rapid charger. All that with an awesome 6 year commercial warranty. Thanks for watching
