Echo HCR-185ES Hedge Trimmer

  Bigger is not necessarily better. When it comes to trimming hedgerows, however, the HCR-185ES’s extra long, laser cut, reciprocating double-blade definitely makes life easier.

Fitted with a potent 74.4cm double-sided, reciprocating blade, the HCR-185ES offers an effective cutting length of 74cm, ideal for maintaining extensive hedgerows. Moreover, these laser cut and precision ground blades are made from hardened steel to help them maintain their sharpness, thus ensuring a professional quality finish every time. To further help you achieve perfect results the HCR-185ES features a clever rotating handle with five working positions available, making it easy to adapt the trimmer to the situation at hand (such as when cutting up against walls or trimming tricky parts of hedgerows in tight spaces).

The power to the cutting system is supplied via an efficient 21.2cc two-stroke petrol engine. With a handy EasyStart system included to reduce starter cord resistance for a hassle-free start every time. To ensure your comfort, the HCR-185ES also features ECHO’s innovative vibration-dampening technology. This improves comfort by insulating your hands from engine vibration it also helps to improve efficiency by making it easier to work for longer periods. Combined with the extra cutting power provided by the extended blade, this makes the HCR-185ES particularly effective when facing heavy jobs.

The HCR-185ES is definitively built to last and features both a three-stage heavy duty air filter for added engine protection and thus adjustable cutter clearance to ensure a longer blade life and superior cutting performance. Weighing only 5.3kg, the HCR-185ES is perhaps also surprisingly light and manoeuvrable for such a powerful machine. . Even the little touches help make this excellent hedgetrimmer easier to use, such as the machine’s high capacity 0.37 litre fuel tank; this semi-transparent tank features an extra-wide vertical opening, which both facilitates quick refuelling and helps to prevent spills.

This attention to detail (along with the generous inclusion of either a five year domestic warranty or a two year commercial warranty as standard) should be enough to convince anyone that Echo’s HCR-185ES is a machine built by people who understand the demands of professional horticultural work. As such, there are few comparable hedgetrimmers which offer a more satisfying working experience than the HCR-185ES.
