[@billybobbob3003]

mines been acting up it'll run normal for about 20 minutes or so then it starts bogging/cutting off and if i fill it up with more gas runs normal then repeats same crap, i removed the spark arrestor just incase no difference and cleaned the spark plug i dunno whats up with it.

[@tinytim11b]

Just went out and bought this trimmer a couple days ago based on your review of it and dude, this thing womps man. Super impressed. Going from an srm225 to this is like going from a civic to a gto. It's only a tad heavier than the 225 but has so much more power. Thanks for your help man! Guys like you that do these reviews help guys like me that research for weeks before buying something.

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Glad it helps. I’m like you and research everything I buy until I’m blue in the face and have literally scoured the internet for everything I can find on that purchase. People think that because I get some products for free that it will be biased. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s more like companies better bring their “A” game if they want stuff reviewed because I know what it’s like to spend your hard earned money and do all the research to make sure you get the right product. Congratulations on your new trimmer. Make sure you use the echo red armor oil if you can. That stuff is awesome and will make your trimmer run like new for years. I used my trimmer now for two and a half seasons with no issues at all. Haven’t even done any maintenance on it. Didn’t change the air filter or spark plug. Still the originals, and I use the 87 octane gas but I’ve always used the red armor. Thanks for watching.

[@tinytim11b]

@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess thanks for the reply! Yeah, I've used red armor religiously in all my machines. I just buy the whole premix bottle. Little expensive but it's convenient and I only do 2 yards. And I come to this channel specifically for unbiased reviews, I can tell it's sincere. All this time later and it's still running great, that's awesome man. As for line, what's worked best for you? I'm really digging black diamond.

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

I’d say the black diamond is the best I’ve used so far in terms of having the best balance of features. It cuts the best, creates little vibration and lasts comparably as long as some other lines. The gatorline square I’ve used in the past was my previous favorite. It cut nice but created lots of vibration. It was tough line though. Lasted a long time but it also hurt a lot more if you got hit buy a broken piece.

[@tinytim11b]

Victor Rippe Nice! Good to know. This one will be my main trimmer for 2018. Thanks for watching.

[@heavymechanic2]

Good information, I noticed a 1.62 gear reduction on the srm2620aa (Home Depot) priced 100 more than the SRM225 that I currently use. I find the 225 lacks power in tough grass and is very fuel efficient to use mowing in the rough. The SRM225 has been a great trimmer the past two years. People tell me STIHL is better but when I priced out a comparable model, its more expensive and the 4-Mix engines require additional maintenance.

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

Stihl is better is a myth. I’ve used Stihl for 10 years in my business and the 4 mix engines were a pain. Constantly needed valve adjustments. All the echo trimmers are made in the USA with Japanese engines. Quality through and through. Been using echo now since the beginning of 2017 and have done almost zero maintenance except for recently cleaning the spark arrestor screen. Still original spark plugs and air filters and I only use regular grade gas. Always starts, always works, used everyday in my business. Thanks for watching.

[@heavymechanic2]

@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess Appreciate your time to provide honest feedback. I really like the speed feed 400 feature on the SRM-225.

[@rjohnsoneod]

I have the T model and it has worked well for about three years. I have 6acres with house, fences, garage, and trees to work around and I am pretty abusive with my tools but I maintain them well. I use only the Red Armor fuel and is more than strong enough for me. I don't know any thing about the other models but the T is pretty good. Red Armor is pretty expensive but I tried the other "popular" brands of fuel and they made the engine clater and there was a reduction of power.

[@CraigThurston2014]

I bought the same one in August. Its my third trimmer for the business. I do like the light weightiness but to be honest I haven't used it much. My employee uses it. I bought a Edger Attachment for it. I haven't spent enough time to learn how to use the attachment yet though lol. Nice Review!

@@LawnCareBusinessSuccess mine was the same way when I got it. Felt sluggish in the middle. Maybe get someone to tune it real quick. Made a world of difference on mine.

[@jonnysnipes3123]

They don’t come lean they come rich. Echo would never send out trimmers lean because people who aren’t mechanically inclined would burn up their pistons lol. It’s bogging because it’s running rich, just balance it out by giving it a quick tuneup only if you are mechanically inclined tho and know how to do that stuff. Some people don’t know how to do that stuff and start digging their fingers in there thinking it’s no big deal until they realized they destroyed a 400 dollar machine because they ran it too lean

Mow Express Lawn Care Glad it helped. Adjusting valves is not a hard process.

[@sonko2010]

Now that you own the 2620t model as well, do you feel that the ‘t’ model has the power that you felt was lacking in the 2620?

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

I used the T model for 3 years. It felt like it definitely had way more torque and was my favorite between the two 2620 models. I don’t use it anymore as I’ve switched to battery trimmers but the 2620T was my favorite gas trimmer that I had used in my career. Thanks for watching.

[@1bottlefed]

The bogging is just the result of using a standard two stroke and meeting EPA compliance. As said a simple carb adjustment is all that's needed to eliminate this issue. Also you have to look hard at the advertising (which baffles me) to find the reason for the lower weight compared to the next step down in the Echo line....the crankcase is magnesium not the cheaper and heavier aluminum found in others. Also worth noting is an excellent two stage air filter.

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

They are definitely great machines. Thanks for watching.

[@lokaniukas]

The engine does not go to high RPM just after cold start because it is a feature. It is in the digital ignition and it is made to permit the engine to warm up a little without immediate high loads. Extends engine life.

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

Lokanas Ok Interesting. Thanks for the info. I’ve never experienced that on any of the Stihl or Honda trimmers I’ve used over the past 12 years.

[@lokaniukas]

That's probably because it's a part of their technical philosophy. I've seen this feature in most of ECHO trimmers/brushcutters.

I hope you and/or some with experience with the Echo 2620/2620T can answer my questions. I'm very interested in the Trimmer, and was ready to pull the trigger on getting two of the units, but it was brought to my attention that users can adjust the carburetor without removing it and removing a screw that prevents adjusting... ??? I'm not a Lawn Care professional, I'm a wildlife biologist and would need the trimmers to maintain fields where I have Bluebird Nesting Box Runs and footpaths to other Nesting Boxes in the field. Not being able to make adjustments in the field to the carburetor (low & high and idle) is a major negative and possibly a deal killer. I work in places with differences in altitude and being able to adjust the carburetor is important. Is there a way to make to make it possible to make adjustments without taking things apart? I would appreciate feedback. Thank you.

[@Scarecrow.]

Hey man. I know it’s a long while later 😂😂 but did you ever find an answer to this?

[@GregsMowing]

Good review, its only the Stihl 4-mix that has the valves to maintain. others are proper 2 stroke. I have just got one of these on demo in England, the guard and trigger handle and loop handle are different but noticed the engine took a few mins to warm up. I hoped that's as its new but you're saying it does that after a year still?

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

Hey sorry. I never got a notification for this comment. Sorry for the late response. Yes when you start it in the morning you do have to wait about 10 seconds or so before pulling the trigger.

#1 Make sure you put the one gallon oil in one gallon of 93 octane "exact amount"...#2 make sure you run at full throttle all the time to make sure the oil doesn't clog the engine... #3 Try to use Red Armor oil mix...Not advertising just saying...#4 Please let those weed eaters warm up 3 minutes before you use them...They will last longer!!! #5 GOD bless you all!!!

I was looking for reviews on the 2620 trimmer and found your channel! I run stihl trimmers. And I LOVE my BR 700x blower by stihl. I use to run Husqvarna. The one thing I like about stihl is the auto choke. Set choke and it will turn off on its own. But I am looking at possibly buying a 2620. But the common complaint is they don’t seem like there is enough power . That concerns me a little... are these your main trimmers or do you still have stihl on your trailer?

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

Yes these are the main trimmers now. I don’t use Stihl at all anymore. All ECHO all the time. Try a 2620T model. The “T” stand for more torque. I used the regular 2620 in this video for a year or so then tried the “T” version and it instantly became my main trimmer. It’s all I use now. Exact same machine except different gearing in the trimmer head giving it tons of power equal to any Stihl I’ve used. Thanks for watching.

[@tylerangle1990]

I’m late to the party here but watching the clips of it running I’d say the carb needs an adjustment. It shouldn’t be “four stroking” under load. The long warm up complaint also makes me suspect it’s running a bit lean but without having it in my hands I couldn’t tell you for certain. It will likely have a fair amount more power once the carb is set properly.

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

You know I’m not sure about that. Since making this video I have many more echo products and they all seem to like to be warmed up before first use of the day. I will say though that in the 3 or so years that I’ve started using echo it has been the most reliable equipment I’ve used. Thanks for watching.

Oh same here. It’s Stihl everywhere. They are very aggressive about their marketing and painting a picture that because you can buy some echo products at home depot that makes them junk. Guess what there are two levels of equipment residential grade and pro grade just like Stihl. In fact all Stihl residential grade equipment is indicated by the predominantly grey plastic housing as opposed to the orange on the pro stuff. But you can only buy their residential grade equipment at dealers. Does that make it better than echo. Not a chance. In real world use their pro equipment does not even compare to echo in terms of reliability. I know because I use to run all Stihl pro equipment. But people buy into the marketing. Even the dealers. I had my dealer tell me that echo is junk and all made in China. I told him no it’s not I’ve been to the echo factory in Chicago 3 times and have seen the products being built. What they don’t tell you is that if the dealer dedicated say 80% of their store to display Stihl vs the other brands they get incentives.

[@MattsRageFitGarage]

I have a 12 year old FS90R but has been residential use since new and not run very hard. It was my grandfathers originally. I don't want to call it a piece of crap but it's been through 2 ignition coils, 2 carburetors, fuel lines, filter, air filter and spark plugs of course. Valves go out of adjustment every 10 or so hours. Starts 3-5 pulls cold and its just sort of lost its low end torque to get the head spinning fast from idle like it used to. It's the hardest thing to adjust the carb on I've ever seen. One minuscule little area in the high and low for it to run just right otherwise it runs like crap. I grew up beating on Echo weedwackers and never had to do hardly anything to them except for a tune up every 5 years or so and grease the flex shaft every other year to keep vibrations down. I won't be buying a Stihl to replace it when it dies, that's for sure! I sold my 9 year old SRM230 last year that I had purchased new that had 3-4 times the use of this FS90R and I flat out abused it, and it never gave me a seconds worth of trouble!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

the reason for your disclaimer is clear enough when you made it. my point is, lately it seems like youtubers are pressured by certain kinds of viewers to make disclaimers in the first place about how they're given products by companies to review, rather than just doing an honest review, and viewers can take it or leave it. it feels defensive. but anyway, if disclaimers are your thing, more power to you.

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

kodiak wild ok. Thanks for clarifying. I think of it more like if I did the review first and you learned that I got the product for free at a later date that people would find that deceptive. My hope is that by being upfront and saying I got it for free first and then clearly my review points out the negative aspects regardless of how big or small they are it becomes clear that it is a honest review.

Hey where’s the serial number

[@austinboone9441]

Pls had lawnmower stolen trying to mark down our serial numbers for the weed cutters we have

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

The model number and serial number are both laser etched on the engine casing and visible if you look at the space between the air filter and fuel tank above the emissions label. Thanks for watching.

Thank you brother

I hate the way the head tangles long grass on it

[@LawnCareBusinessSuccess]

This happens to all trimmers in tall grass. Make sure in tall grass you are going full throttle and in a sweeping motion so only the grass in front of the trimmer is being cut. Move in only as the grass gets knocked down. Thanks for watching.

always let everything warm up, that's an engine not a motor you let engines warm up
