ECHO Articulating Hedge Trimmer Attachment In Use
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- Another video from last year, this is a real time version demonstrating the ECHO articulating hedge trimmer attachment attached to the PAS2620 power base.
While not the BEST tool for EVERY hedge trimming job, the articulating hedge trimmer is certainly the Swiss Army Knife of hedge trimmers and is the most useful for ALL situations. Ideally, you would have your mid and long reach attachments in addition to the articulating attachment, but you CAN get away with JUST the articulating attachment.
The cons of this are the weight of the system and how bulky it is, which means in some instances it isn't the most efficient tool. The pros are being able to handle pretty much anything with just one attachment head.

Hi Brad! I love , love, love watching you! Your work is always superb, from a handsome landscape artist. 😜
Haha, thank you as always Dennis, I appreciate the kind words!
Looks like an awesome tool! Great video, Brad. Nothing better than seeing it in action.
A solid piece of machinery for sure! :)
@@CopperCreekCuts Absolutely :)
I have a STIHL KM91R and Articulating Hedge Trimmer attachment and it's worked pretty well for me like your Echo PAS unit
I hear good things about the Kombi system. Thanks for the comment!
That's a nice trimmer. I received in the mail my new Echo Medium reach non-articulating trimmer. It works great. Your's was a little pricey for me at the moment but i'll be picking one up this summer for sure. Great vid, thanks!
I just got my hands on the medium reach as well, makes a big difference in weight for jobs you don't need the articulating one for.
I would love to work for you but I live in the Netherlands:( But I like to watch your vids and learn how to keep my lawn tidy and productive throughout the season.
That would be a killer commute! ;) Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it!
The Echo PAS system is on my short list. Thanks for getting back to your views so fast.👍🏼😎
I've just purchased the articulating hedge trimmer and the rubber pallet brush and would have to say that the rubber pallet brush is a godsend that unit cleaned 7 yards and driveways in the last two days, I've just tried trimming cedars for half an hour as cedars are in spring growth and so did not want to be aggressive. To me the promises of the trimmer are greater than it's uses... that monster is heavy and constantly reaving machine...just use an electric, quiet, lighter, more maneuverable and sure back pain in evening but i'm sure not as bad as handling that monster and constant re adjustment of articulating arm...what a pain!
How does this guy even manage with a small trailer with his mowers and stuff. Must be a master at Tetris
Haha, I don't have a ton of equipment and the stuff I do I have had a few years to figure out the best spot for them! :)
Alright I’ll take your word for it but just remind me to never challenge you in Tetris.
I just ordered one of these with the pole saw attachment. I can't wait until I get it. I am a veteran and I broke my back in the military so I have issues bending and twisting. I think this tool will allow me to reclaim my yard which is a disgrace because I physically can't do a lot of things.
I am sorry to hear that! I am also glad you are looking forward to the equipment. I hope it helps out!
@@CopperCreekCuts I just used it today and I have to say that I LOVE it. I was able to handle it with the shoulder harness just fine. It was long enough that I could get from the ground to head height without having to bend which is what kills mu back. It was heavy, my arms feel like I brutalized them at the gym but that is preferential to my back going out. We got 9 yard bags of waste in about 2 hours. The saw is AMAZING and it made taming my front yard so much easier than a normal pair of hedge clippers.
Good job is always you do excellent work I can't say enough you're a good guy and your videos are great have a good spring and summer by
Thanks so much for the kind words Paul, I always enjoy your comments (because they are so nice)!
Great work brad, 👌👍
Well it's no yew reduction... ;) :D
😂👌
That Echo cuts great , I may look into buying one Thanks!
It is a solid machine that hasn't let me down. Thank YOU for watching and commenting!
We love echos they give such a nice crisp cut for some reason our stihls don't have that nice crisp cut even if we have them sharpen.
Interesting! Haven't used STIHL trimmers, so couldn't say why. Maybe the type of steel? Thanks for the comment!
I appreciate you taking the time to make this video, but dude, using this attachment on shrubbery that’s chest and waist height and below
looks extremely awkward and cumbersome. This attachment appears to be most beneficial for anything that’s above shoulder height.
Completely agree! Mid reach attachment is much easier and pretty much all I use now. Didn't have one at the time.
Great bush trimming as always
I want to try and get as good as the UK guys who make videos! :)
Definitely “enliked” the video. Gained a new subscriber. Great content! 👍🏼
Curious, how did you price this job out?
Haha, thank you so much for tagging along, I appreciate it! :) I generally price things by estimating how long they will take and multiplying that by my desired hourly rate. So if I want $40 per hour and I think a job will take 30 minutes or .5 hours, I charge $20 (40*.5). If I want $60 per hour and I think a job will take 1.5 hours, I would bid $90 ($60*1.5). Hope that helps!
Nice job! 👍🏻
Buen trabajo me gustan tus vídeos
Muchas gracias mi amigo!
Great job as always. 👍😁
Thank you Ms. Cruz! :)
@@CopperCreekCuts 🤗
Nice job Brad. 😉👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much! :)
I just used that attachment for the first time it was great, I have a question though is it normal for the gear case to release grease onto the blade similar to how a chain saw works?
Marathon Watching 9/27/21 Sweet Trimmer , Awesome 👏 video 🎞...
very nice echo trimmer i may get one after my toro gets retired 😊
Haha, sounds like a plan! :)
Great job 🤠
Thank you ma'am! :)
Hey Brad, hope all is well. Thanks for all these informational videos. They help a ton. I have 2 questions, about how long do did it take you to do the entire job? And how do you price trimming jobs?
I honestly can't remember, I apologize! I think a bit longer than I anticipated, I know that isn't very specific, though. I have an hourly rate for lawn care work I always try to hit. I estimate how long I think shrubs and cleanup will take, then multiply that by the hourly rate.
So for example, if you want $40 per hour and you think a job will take 30 minutes, then .5 hour X $40 per hour = $20. If you want $60 per hour and you think a job will take 2 hours and 15 minutes, then 2.25 hours X $60 per hour = $135.
Copper Creek Cuts Lawn Care yeah I already have my overhead cost calculated and what I want to make per hour. I just haven’t done enough trimming jobs to actually be comfortable with estimating how long it’s going to take. I have a few people already calling me this year and hoping to get full time into it. I have a few lawns from last year and picked up a few more this year, and a few other people asking for landscaping stuff... mostly clean ups and mulch. Thanks for taking the time though! Really appreciate it.
I hope you enlike it. Love it!!
Even better! :) Thank you!
I noticed that you don't use hand clippers but reply solely on the machine. Do you think it makes a difference between the articulated or standard hedge trimming attachments and what might be the pro's and con's between the two. I just bought my first Echo Power head with the pruning attachment and need to get a hedge as well. Thank you for showing it in action. All others like to hear themselves talk about mindless tech talk when all we are ever looking for is seeing a tool doing what it's designed for. Thank you.
I would like to know what process you use on charging for hedge trimming. And how do you like the the echo pas? And have you used others? And maybe compare what you have used to what you have now. Thanks
Estimated time to complete job X Desired hourly rate + Buffer (In case of error) = Bid. The PAS is great, two years later still going strong, though I think the clutch might be wearing out. Only used the Poulan Pro attachment before it.
As a partially disabled person, I can move around very effectively and am quite strong. Is the articulated hedge trimmer very heavy?
Nice! Bought the PAS system and will definitely add the trimmer when I need it. I'm looking at starting a side business doing edging, trimming, lawncare etc.. Any tips on pricing these kinds of jobs? Your videos are great!
Figure out how much you need to make per hour to pay your bills after taxes and set that as your rate, then estimate how long jobs will take and multiply the two. You will underbid badly at first but get better.
Have you been able to determine approximate number of hours of chain use b4 it needs to be sharpened?
You mean the blades? I apologize, I don't know. I am sure ECHO has a standard number, though.
@@CopperCreekCuts My bad - thought you were using chain saw attachment. Was viewing on my phone and couldn't tell difference. That's what I would need for some of my tall shrubs with fat branches. I think the yard guy I hired b4 used both.
I am just an average homeowner. The 2620 is a 25cc engine. Do you think the 21cc engine would be to under powered for their hedge trimmer? Echo has attachments for the 21 cc but I’m just wondering if it’s really that good. Thanks for your time
Great Video! Just a basic question. How do you quote hedge trimming jobs? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Desired Hourly Rate X (Estimated time to trim + Estimated time to clean up) + Any fee for disposing = Bid.
Nice
good job, is that your yard?
It is not. Wish it was, the grass was gorgeous!
I turned the machine on with the hedge trimmer attachment and it turned off in seconds when I try to use the hedge trimmer. It does not happen with the other attachments. Please advise.
I am not sure. The only thing I can think of is your power base doesn't have the torque needed to operate it.
@@CopperCreekCuts Thank you for takin your your time and let me know what the problem can be. Thanks for your advice. May the Lord bless you and your family. 🙏
@@JIMMYACURA what unit machine are/were using
How do you charge for Head Trimming
Well, Bradly, I “en-liked it”
Haha, I am thrilled to hear it!
What kind or rack was supporting all your equipment in your trailer
th-cam.com/video/YfFIdfECPJ4/w-d-xo.html
Bradley great job! How much were your arms and back hurting you? I can't believe you were using a gas engine and not battery powered hedge trimmer. Or a back pack support system.
Haha, a lot! That thing is HEAVY!!! I need to look into one of those pulley support systems!
@@CopperCreekCuts I have the EASY-LIFT HARNESS. Check them out. It is great!
@@sebastian56309 I will! Where/how do you buy them? Online? Dealer?
@@CopperCreekCuts yes I first went to there website figured out which model I wanted (I got the 2 hydraulic lift arms, it hoods more capacity of the tool) then I bought it from another site. It was a little cheaper .
I realize this is an older video. But taking a chance here. What is the cut capacity of the echo attachment? Doesn't seem to be listed on their website. Thanks!
Have u had any problems with oil leaking out of the exhaust? I want to buy the same one but i keep seeing that that has been a problem with this echo thank u
How do you typically charge for hedge trimming? I have had my landscape business in San Diego, Ca. since 2014 & tend to undercharge more jobs then I’d like to admit.
I cannot locate this model here in California!!! All the big big box retailers and local Echo dealers have no stock.
I can find the PAS 225 but wondered if it is underpowered?
Might be lighter in weight though that could be a plus.
No word or call back from EchoUSA .
Obviously this is a strange time with the virus pandemic.
We have had a ton of great rain and now sunshine so yards are popping weeds and trees are big and bushy.
Could you give me a fair opinion on the PAS225 model?
Thank you from California.👍
According to the ECHO site the 225 is compatible with the articulating hedge trimmer, but I wouldn't want one. It maybe be just fine for your needs, however!
@@CopperCreekCuts Meaning you think the 225 with hedge trimmer is underpowered. Obviously my question is driven by no stock on the 2620 so the step down is my choice. The 32 model is not a PAS only a trimmer. Thank you and I am only asking your opinion due to your usage of gear, not looking for you to sell me on it or represent Echo products. Weird times when you cannot go out and buy what you need. LOL👌
Keep looking they are back in stock today I ordered my back order last week it still not here yet they are selling as fast as they build them
Ukiah California
can i add a longer attachment to a black and decker hedge trimmer?
That would be a great question for the manufacturer, unfortunately I wouldn't have any idea, especially without a model number. Thanks for watching!
I do not know much about this but gonna ask anyway.
Can you carry a car battery and set it to take 110 for charging your equipment in back of of trailer? Then charge battery as you drive around to your different locations? It wold be handy and you would always have charged batteries. :-)
Nice.
Thank you! ;)
Hey those hedges are crooked and lopsided.. on second thought maybe it's just me. O well time for another pool beer 🤣
Hahaha, too funny! ;) 🍻
@@CopperCreekCuts cheers buddy 🍻
Why would anybody plant bushes together like that?
To make a hedgerow.
Now that it's been a while do you prefer small attachment or articulating hedge trimmer attachment?
Mid reach!
I clicked in-like on the video I hope you dont mind?
Haha, not at all, thank you! :P
Does this articulate 90 degrees to get a square cut per se? Not interested if it isn't 90 degrees to top bushes and sides of them. Thanks
Yes, it articulates to 90 degrees.
Does the echo trimmer attachment work on still combi engines?
+1
I apologize, I don't know what attachment system Kombi's use so don't know.
Good evening, what's the brand of this machine you're using?👍🇧🇷
It is an ECHO PAS2620 power based with an ECHO articulating hedge trimmer attachment. Thanks for watching and commenting!
. thanks for listening
You are very welcome! 👍
thank you 🇧🇷
Does anyone have experience using with the 56v cordless echo trimmer power head? How long does the charge last?
Depends on what you are using it for. I have several videos on it. Search the channel.
Is it heavy
Yes
Do you really need the articulating head?
I am not sure, but it is nice to have the option!
You might have to get a zip tie or something. Watching that trimmer head moving was annoying to keep adjusting. It messed up your groove.
Huh? I was changing the adjustment myself, it is an articulating head that allows you to change the angle of the trimmer head. Once it is set it doesn't move :D
@@CopperCreekCuts Oh! Well that's perfect then!! The way the video is filmed, you adjusted the head back straight multiple times. I found it annoying that it wasn't staying put!!
But glad that's not the case!
Haha, I can see that if you didn't know how the product worked that it would look very annoying! ;)
@@CopperCreekCuts 😄 Thanks for the clarification!! I'm glad you like the product though! Which is most important!!! Have a good day!!!
I clicked the enlike button
It cuts way too slow
It is probably ME who is cutting too slow! :D
👍
Thanks! :)
I am going to be honest that thing is struggling to cut. My battery operated dewalt does a better and faster job.
This trimmer is a piece of shit. Worked 20 minutes, destroyed drive shaft in brand new power head.
Definitely a warranty issue. Not supposed to do that in normal operation.
@@CopperCreekCuts I was very disappointed. 🙁🙁🙁.
Nice.
Thank you!
