Hey buddy great video they are both great trimmers the 2320T for the price you can't beat it for regular maintenance like we do here in Miami fla the 2320T works great we do 15 to 17 houses a day and its much less fatigue on me or my employees sholders and hands specially if your running a unit 8 hours a day on super hot and humid days which 90 percent of the time it is down here i have 3 2320T on the truck and a 2620T and a 3020T the guys always go get the 2320T cuz of its light weight we only use the bigger units when we have to clean out big brush but we barely have any of that here im planning on selling my 3020T cuz its heavy and just get another 2620T or a regular 2620. we are on our second year with the 2320T and we use them none stop all year around and they have been extremely reliable.
@@GwinnettLawns Wow that's awesome man also one of the reasons i use the 2320T is cuz of my shoulder im in so much pain constantly i have to have surgery probably by next year im 50 now and i have alot of wear and tear on my shoulder cuz of all the years using lawn equipment ive been doing this for over 35 years and your body can only take so much i always try advice younger labdscapers to use lighter equipment cuz all these sholder problems and Arthritis that i have on my hands now it will catch up to them as you age i never used to listen to my elders and i would be using Stihls Fs250r trying to be a bad ass and look at me now ok buddy take care and stay healthy.
@@victorrippe5845 I'm the same way, i got carpal tunnel two years ago and just prefer lighter equipment and I'm 30 now.. it's better to find a suitable and effective technique that helps keep you going and good enough
Yeah, I bought the 20" swath guard the Shindaiwa and SRM3020's come with and put it on my SRM-266. The 20" swath is real nice for trimming under fences. Gives up a little bit of power with the longer line, but much more useful overall.
I bought a 2320T to replace my SRM-225 because of the same reason you had. When edging sidewalks, I even had the 225 spit hot oil on me. I had enough of that. The 2320T, for what it is, is a phenomenal unit. $50 more than the 225, I don’t see why anyone would want a 225. Plus, it’s rated for 300 hours rather than 50 hours for the 225. No brainer.
@@irvim.9482 30% more torque, but the main thing is that it’s made with commercial grade components like chrome plated cylinders. Rated for 300 hours before service as opposed to the 225 that’s residential grade and rated for 50 hours. It doesn’t spit hot oil either.
Has anyone had the chance to try out the Shindaiwa T235? It's the same as the SRM225 only with all of the upgraded features you have on the 2320T. The only difference is that the 2320T has the high torque head while the T235 has the standard head and a little better shaft and handle from the original Shindaiwa units. Not a fan of those high torque heads for weekly trimming. The spin too slow to get a quick and clean cut.
Great video, i absolutely love the husky line as well and can't go using another line in the growing season.. it cuts like butter can't imagine it on residential lawns with that trimmer
Hey Russell, Good to see you again. I've been down awhile. Got hit with cancer in December. Recovering from treatments just began. Doing good. Spent two years putting the LawnCare business together and hoped to hit it full time this season, now it'll be near the end of the season. I've got the 2620 Will be looking at this 2320T when I can. Appreciate You👊🏼🧔🇺🇸
Yesterday I pulled the muffler off my 2320T to check the exhaust port. It was 99.999% clean thanks to Red Armor but I noticed a second gasket between the spark arrester screen and the deflector. The second gasket appears to be a restrictor plate with the hole being half the size as the gasket it sits next to. I removed it and my 2320T makes far more low to mid range power than before, and it is still running a hair rich on 91octane ethanol-free without tuning the carb. The increase in power is very noticeable. Much better throttle response too. Have you noticed a similar restrictor plate type gasket between the spark arrester and deflector on your 2320T or 2620T?
Echo's Japanese website claims 0.97ps(horsepower) for their version of the 2320T and 1.35ps for their version of the 2620T. Just as you said, big difference between the two.
Mine did too, and I removed a muffler gasket that seemed to function as a restrictor plate just after the spark arrestor screen. It still has a gasket there, but there was two with different size ports sandwiched together. I removed the one with the half size port. Trimmer now has much more low to mid range torque and better throttle response without adjusting the carb. It is still running a hair rich so there is more power there if I opened it up more or leaned out a hair.
@@GwinnettLawns sweet man that’ll be the first thing I do to it will refer to your video for that. Been running a Stihl fs94r for years had no problems out of it but people are having tons of problems with the ones made in the past year or so so I’m going to switch and want something similar to the 94r thinking the echo will be perfect for me
I see they sell a complete pas brush blade attachment pre assembled. . However they also sell a high torque pas attachment.with trimmer head ... but online it doesn't seem to specify if they sell a the high torque attachment with a brush kit already installed? The only brush kit I see is appears to be the the standard torque? Any thoughts? To me it would make sense to have the high torque attachment with the brush cutter if that's even possible or not idk? The BRUSH BLADE ON A 2620T MODEL THAT ALREADY HAS HIGH TORQ MUST BE ABLE TO ACCEPT HIGHER TORQUE WITH BRUSH BLADE, so that's why I'm asking if anyone may know if they sell the pas brush attachment with the option for standard torque and also high torque brush attachment option?
I would like to know if the 2320T is strong enough to cut down bullrushes and other shoreline reeds that can have a good 2" diameter at the base of the plant? Anyone have any experience with shoreline reeds?
You can make any trimmer as powerful as the 2620t just gotta tune up the carb is all. Although I love the 2620t dont be afraid to buy an srm 225 for a cheaper price, just tune the carb
I like the 2620 because it’s commercial rated, but as far as daily usage, the 2320 is the go to especially coming from an avid 225 user.
I have i think a 115.. And umm yah that 2320 is way better than my 115.
Time to upgrade.
I maintain an acre worth of lawn.
Just grabbed a 2320T from my Echo dealer here in Savannah! Feels great in my hands for normal everyday use.
2620 with that edger guard on it made the the 23 look like a 225 😄👍🏻. Buy a 26 and live happily ever after
I have 2320T and as a homeowner it does everything need, maybe even a little over kill! I put an edge-it pro on it last spring and love it!
This dude ready for war. Love it. You can hear the difference!

I am going to put an EdgitPro on my 2320T so I can use it more.

I was on the fence. After seening this 💯 going for the 2620. Saved me for making a costly mistake. Thanks and God bless.
The Shindaiwa 262T is a monster. Wider cut with than the Echo. Same feel, just wider cut with the Echo Black Diamond string.

I just returned mine for spitting hot oil today. Probably will pick up a 2320 to replace it
@@somesauce wise decision. You’re going to love that trimmer
I bought the 2320t but what is the difference exactly to 225? It's have more power? More efficient?

I have a srm 225 echo I weedeat our ditches no issues we have it for for a few years never a issue.
Bought the 3020t only 2 tanks of fuel and its a beast i have 2 to 3 ft weeds i cut an it has no problems it,s heavy but it balances out very well.
Hey Russell,
Good to see you again.
I've been down awhile.
Got hit with cancer in December. Recovering from treatments just began.
Doing good.
Spent two years putting the LawnCare business together and hoped to hit it full time this season, now it'll be near the end of the season.
I've got the 2620
Will be looking at this 2320T when I can.
Appreciate You👊🏼🧔🇺🇸
Oh no that's awful! Glad you on the mend. Get healthy as the grass will always be growing and waiting on you to mow it. Love me some 2620T for sure!

I got rid of the 2320 T and only run the 2620 T and no restrictor plate on that trimmer.
Echo's Japanese website claims 0.97ps(horsepower) for their version of the 2320T and 1.35ps for their version of the 2620T. Just as you said, big difference between the two.
that 2320 sounds like it could be tweaked on the high screw a little bit

Thanks verry nice review!!! I am getting the 2620T it was a verry help full revew I was able to make my desicion
It’s an awesome trimmer you’ll like it you’re after year.
Great vid man gonna be picking up a 2620t here in a week or two. Do they come stock with hour meters on them or is that something you added
I put an hourmeter on everything I own. I have a video or two to show how to do it and where I got the hourmeter’s.
@@GwinnettLawns sweet man that’ll be the first thing I do to it will refer to your video for that.

Good stuff buddy
I like using the 2 screw clamp type adjustable weeder shield like on huskies or Tanaka. The echo guard is only really for line cutting.
Does everybody do the bolt mod?
i got SRM-3020T i like round Guard when can i get one like that one?
amzn.to/3SkNcpO
When you are using both weed eaters can you tell a difference in weight?
It’s a little bit of a difference not a huge difference.
Hey Russ, how does the 2620 and the 2620T compare? Does the higher torque model affect the spin rate of the speed feed head? Thanks!
2620T is the king! Only way to go for me.
Nice video 👍👍

225 will never be in the same league with the 2620t.
Yup...225 is a perfect residential/finish trimmer...2620T will do that plus go through overgrowth like hot knife through butter
3020t blows the 2620t out of the water just heavy
The 3020 is only 1.1 pounds heavier than the 2620 dry weight. 3020 is my go to trimmer.
NEXT EPISODE: 2620T VS 3020T 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
LOl I would love to get a 3020T for sure.
Where did u get that disc on the echo 2620 t?
I think you meant 2021,😁😁😁😁😁
LOL Yes correct.
👊🏼🧔🇺🇸
2620t blows the other one away! I have both. I don't like any non high torque models or brands anymore.
