Echo RM-520ES Backpack Brushcutter

With the commercial-grade Echo RM-520ES Backpack Brushcutter at your disposal, you’ll be able to access areas that would be impossible to reach with a conventional handheld unit!

Powering it is a premium 50.2cc Echo two-stroke engine that develops a beefy 2.9hp, and which employs the Japanese manufacturer’s Power Boost Tornado™ technology, whereby power output is maximised, while fuel consumption and emissions are cut.

Echo’s Easy Start system means the engine will fire-up with the gentlest of pulls on the starter rope; their provision of a roomy one-litre tank ensures very little time will be lost due to refuelling-breaks.

The Echo RM-520ES boasts comfortable padded backpack straps that work with its lightweight design (12kg) and ergonomic loop-and-bar handle to minimise user fatigue during day-long landscaping applications.

It’s equipped with a high-tensile steel driveshaft, which ensures powerful, high-torque performance; and it can be used with either with a metal brush blade, or a twin-line, bump-feed strimming head, so flexibility of use is assured*.
