CHICAGO — ECHO X Series represents the company’s “Best-in-Class” products designed for professional users. The new family was introduced at the GIE+EXPO in Louisville, Ky., to expand and replace the Pro Extreme series.

The ECHO X Series contains models within the main product categories. Each has specific top-level attributes that are designed to help landscape professionals perform their jobs better in respective applications.

The ECHO X Series includes 19 models within eight categories. The 2620 products join the ranks with other superior products such as the HC-2420, PB-770 and the CS-620.

“The ECHO X Series was well received at the show,” says Wayne Thomsen, Vice President of Marketing and Aftermarket. “All our products are professional-grade but the X Series identifies key models for Pro users designed to provide significant attributes in their target applications. In addition, the new branding helps the professional user easily identify what we consider to be our best in class per category.
