ECHO X Series Chosen for the “Twenty for 2018’ New Product Awards by the Landscape Business Media Group

Landscape Business (formerly Landscape and Irrigation) announced its selections for the “Twenty for 2018” new product awards this week, honoring the ECHO X Series as one of the recent innovations within the commercial landscape and irrigation markets.

The Echo X Series represents the company’s “best-in-class” products designed for professional users. The X Series includes bed redefiners, trimmers, brushcutters, hedge trimmers, blowers, chain saws, edgers, pruners, and the Pro Attachment Series. Each model in the X Series has specific top-level attributes designed to help landscape professionals perform their jobs better in respective applications. Features include light weight, increased horsepower, vibration reduction and longer run time.

While the ECHO X Series continues to expand, the media group cited the recent introductions of the CS-2511T top-handle chain saw and the HCA-2620 articulating shafted hedge trimmer. The CS-2511T is the lightest gas-powered chain saw in North America, and the most powerful in its class. It features a top-mounted bar oiler, which allows for easy access by the operator and prevents the oiler adjustment screw from getting clogged with wood chips and debris. The HCA-2620 hedge trimmer boasts class-leading power, advanced power head features, lighter weight, improved gear case design and superior three-sided cutting teeth. A unique feature is its 135 degree articulating range with ten operating positions.

Products were judged by the EPG Media and Specialty Information editorial staff based on innovation, marketability and application within the market. The winning products are profiled on Landscape-Business.com. News about the winners will also appear in the July issue of Outdoor Power Equipment magazine.
