Echo DSRM-2600 56V Battery String Trimmer First Look And Test  

Good review I just bought echos pas 56v . I was really impressed with it. that now I want to by their x series but I’m having problems in getting extra batteries. You shared a lot of good info . Thank You

There were 2 versions of the 58v String trimmers, the first generation actually has the motor in the back like this one.

Thanks for the demonstration and information

Great review. I've mentioned before that here in California they are trying to force us to go to all battery lawn equipment and these reviews are an awesome resource for the new equipment. Thank you

Battery is rolling ✔️💪🏽

Thanks for the great review. I switching to this The Greenworks heads have lots of reported problems without replacement parts.

@williamson ridge outdoors I looked at this 2600 model and the model just below, the 2100. What I am really looking for is a throttle that you can TRULY feather like a gas trimmer. What I found was the the cheaper 2100 I could get a very slow rotation on and then bring it up to speed. With this flagship 2600 model, you start squeezing and boom it starts rotating at some minimum speed which isn’t super slow. I know this is a small thing, but when I flip it over to edge around the oak trees, I don’t want to damage the roots. So on my gas powered echo, I simply feather, the throttle to spin the head fast enough to cut the grass and that’s it. same thing for edging along gravel. I want to rotate it super slow so that I’m not having gravel shoot all over the place. I would just get the lower priced 2100, but the shaft is a few inches shorter, which feels weird. Can you offer any feedback on the ability to feather the throttle. Do you experience the same thing that I did when I tried it out in the store. Excellent review by the way super helpful.

Thats how they make the money, they know people will buy it. I still use the 4 cycle gas whacker with the forester chain saw blade. You can't use the battery with the blade. good video.

We have one at my landscaping company and it works good and very convenient but only lasts about 30 minutes depending on how tough the grass is. I like to use it for jobs that don’t take long but I prefer a stihl 111 or 91 for everything else

Nice

That's where they getyou is with the accessories

Interesting they have a 2100 PAS compatible or the regular 2100 but not the X series 2600 PAS compatible. nice review!

Thanks for the review. I am curious if you noticed any drive shaft vibration or resonance in the DSRM-2600 from it having the rear mounted motor? I was actually happy when they switched over to the direct drive (trimmer head side) motor in the previous generation as opposed to the PAS version because to seem to really cut back on NVH.

Looks great but it’s probably impossible to find right now. Great review. Update- I went to my ECHO dealer yesterday and picked one right up! 😝 👍🏼

Thank you my friend I enjoyed your studio and review of this piece of equipment. I have looked all over for it and can find it I’m in Louisiana. If you can help me out with locating me one with a five amp battery . I would appreciate. Thank you my friend.

See that's where they get you at is either with a battery or the charger. That thing costs more than my gas stihl string trimmer wow.

Great Video! Love this channel! Have you tried the echo x series 12 in eforce saw?

The standard charger is better on the battery. Yes it does take longer to charge but a lower amp charge is better for the battery.

The problem with rapid charging, it cuts the light for your battery. If you do it all the time it’ll cut it in half a third touchdown, grace and peace.

Great review. Was there a noticeable difference in the weight? Easier on the back for us old and worn out geezers?

Terrific review buddy. You’ve gained a new subscriber. Interested in slowly making the switch to battery powered equipment. I’m also curious - what kind of warranty does this machine come with? Echo usually offers pretty good warranties but where I’m not used to battery powered equipment and since us commercial lawn and landscapers are hard on our equipment, warranties are a bid deal.

Do you know where trimmer line comes in it. I got one is green and it’s cuts so goood. Idk what it is. So I posted my own little review on my channel.

Has anyone tested the machine using multiple batteries with prolonged use. I would imagine it would heat up after a while. Wondering if it would?

How long is the run time now that you've run it for a while?

Maybe you could sell the slow charger on Ebay

How long do you get on low setting, what ah is the battery

I just purchased this exact model same model number but mine came in two pieces???

Does the weed Wacker go clockwise or counterclockwise

I hate mine! Seriously, I can only get 4 yards done here in Virginia before the battery runs out. Not lying and not trolling. The few positives are that it’s light and it does cut well, but the shitty battery life angers me.

thanks for the obnoxious 2 min. commercial!
