CHICAGO — ECHO Inc., a global leader in professional-grade, high performance outdoor power equipment for commercial and homeowner use, announced the addition of two new product categories to the brand portfolio — wheeled trimmers and chipper/shredders. These products are essential tools for landscapers, farm and ranch owners, and various agricultural applications.
“It's an exciting time for ECHO, as we continue to expand our categories and offer innovative solutions to end users. Like all our products, the new wheeled trimmers and chipper/shredders are built to be durable, powerful, and reliable tools that get the toughest jobs done quickly and efficiently,” said Jason Wilk, Product Manager, ECHO Inc.
About ECHO’s Wheeled Trimmers
Key applications for the walk behind wheel trimmers include cutting dense weeds and mowing tall grass, with 5 times more power than a handheld trimmer. The heavy-duty, commercial design allows for easy and convenient trimming along retaining walls, fences, and other tight areas. Large 16-inch diameter wheels are designed for smooth maneuverability over rough terrain, while an extra-wide 24 in. cutting swath, coupled with ultra-heavy duty .155” Cross-Fire™ trimmer line increases cutting performance and efficiency.
ECHO has three wheeled trimmer models to choose from:
- WT-1610: 163 cc Briggs & Stratton engine. MSRP $559.99
- WT-1610T: 163 cc Briggs & Stratton engine with the ability to tilt the deck, allowing the operator to efficiently cut hard to reach areas. MSRP $699.99
- WT-1610HSP: Self-propelled model with 160 cc Honda engine and 3-speed transmission. MSRP $999.99

About ECHO’s Chipper/Shredders
The three new chipper shredders are compact, powerful, and loaded with heavy-duty, professional features.

Additionally, the shredding hopper contains free-swinging shredder blades that can pulverize lightweight material up to ¾” thick and handle other garden waste. All three models feature convenient, flat-free tires and handles for easy transport.
