Echo HCR-185ES 21.2cc Petrol Hedge Trimmer
The HCR-185ES shares the same 21.2cc engine and professional specification as the HCR-165ES, with one key difference — a 744mm cutting length that makes it the choice for larger, more established hedges where reach and productivity matter. The extra blade length means fewer passes on wide hedges and faster progress along long runs, without any penalty in weight or handling — the machine comes in at just 5.3kg.
The five-position rotating handle sits higher than the blade line, which is a practical detail that makes a real difference when trimming the tops of tall hedges. Rather than fighting the angle of a conventional handle, the operator can position the machine naturally and let it run cleanly across the surface without snagging. The laser-cut double reciprocating blades cut on both strokes at 3,600 cuts per minute, and the anti-vibration system keeps front and rear handle vibration to levels that make extended use comfortable.
ES-Start, adjustable cutter clearance, and the full professional specification of the HCR range are all present — this is simply the longest-bladed version in the lineup.
