ECHO Launches New Shafted Trimmer in North America

ECHO Incorporated, a global leader in professional-grade, high performance outdoor power equipment for commercial and homeowner use, today announced the launch of its newest shafted hedge trimmer for North America, the HCA-2620S. A must-have tool for commercial landscapers, the HCA-2620S is hitting the market at an ideal time for peak hedge trimming season, which is prior to the first budding.

“With a 25.4 cc engine, the HCA-2620S cuts through thick hedges like a hot knife through butter,” said John Powers, Director of Product Marketing, ECHO Incorporated. “Like all ECHO X Series products, this was designed to be powerful, light weight, and offer greater productivity. The HCA-2620S was built for the commercial landscaper who wants an articulating shafted hedge trimmer yet prefers a shorter length and lighter weight tool. This combo allows landscapers to trim hedges with more maneuverability while increasing their comfort and reducing fatigue.”

•  25.4 cc professional-grade 2-stroke engine
