Built to the same specifications as Echo’s professional-range brushcutters, this powerful & easy-to-handle machine is the obvious choice for homeowners maintaining substantial grounds. It’s driven by a high-performance 26.3cc two-stroke engine, which benefits from the employment of Echo’s I-Start system. This works by harnessing the energy of your pull on the starting-cord & then redelivering it in a shorter, sharper burst, in turn minimising the amount of force that’s required to get the engine going. A commercial-duty air-filter ensures that optimum performance is maintained in dry, dusty conditions. So as to ensure the maximum amount of torque is sent to the cutter-head, Echo have equipped the SRM2455LS with a high-tensile steel drive-shaft. Precision-cut, triple ball-bearing-mounted gearing further enhances cutting performance, as well maximising long-term reliability. Comfort features include an ergonomic ‘loop’-type handle & a fatigue-reducing shoulder-harness. The Echo SRM2455LS I-Start Light-Duty Brushcutter comes with a nylon-line strimmer-head.
