I’m also wondering does the DPAS2600 come with the high torque trimmer attachment already? I’ve noticed the one that comes with that one has a grease cap at the head while the trimmer attachment that comes with the DPAS2100 doesn’t have it at all. So are there three different trimmer attachments?
The one that comes with the 2100 has the same gear ratio is the one on the 2600. The 2100 gearbox is a cost cutting measure by Echo and is a throwaway gearbox once it wears out. All the non-commercial Echo trimmers have the non-greasable gearbox. My 2100 gear box is actually pretty crunchy sounding now. The Hi torque gearbox is noticeably larger than the standard one. They have three attachments, the standard trimmer, the high torque and a curved shaft attachment. They don't sell the 2100 pas attachment.
@@sololawnprofessional appreciate the info! I have an extra blade edger attachment laying around I may do that swap on my one that I keep connected to the gas powered power head. I’ll have to see the size difference I’ve never noticed before.
Fascinating. I never knew there were multiple trimmer attachments (other than some having the threaded cap for greasing and others not having it) but as for a difference in gear torque…good to know. Is it any edger attachment that has the high torque or just the bed definer one? I have a couple of trimmer / edger attachments I don’t routinely use, might try this is the power difference that much better?
ruclips.net/video/AiZ_xiufqO8/видео.html This video is all about the high torque gearbox using it on the 2600 and the 2100. It's definitely an improvement especially for the 2100 gives a better knockdown power. I would definitely convert your stick edger just to try it out before you buy it, to see if it's right for you. It's actually something I can't live without after using it. I feel like it gives better battery life slightly. It definitely has more knockdown power and it cuts cleaner in my opinion. I'm just using the stock curved shaft stick edger. The bed redefiner uses a straight shaft gearbox that you cannot convert into a string trimmer.
@@sololawnprofessional awesome! Now do ya normally run the 2600 on setting 3 ? For my jobs I very seldom take it off setting 1 tbh. Would setting 1 w the high torque head do anything or would it not spin as fast?
@@BigRedServicesLLC I run setting 3 and most of the time it's half to 3/4 throttle. But I would definitely give the conversion a try first. Since we're probably dealing with different grass types, it may not make as big a difference to me as you.

First. And thanks might switch mines
This is just a quick conversion just to try out the high torque gearbox
You're 2620 and your shindaiwa t Model Will still be better no matter what.
i may be able to buy a Shindaiwa LE262 would that gearbox fit echo 2620?
From what I understand, the shindawa and Echo have different splines on their trimmer Gearboxes
@sololawnprofessional i bought it and it fit just fine. would i have to adjust the carb at all?
@@leonseyer7884 you don't have to do anything. Just bolt it on
What's the deal
