Stihl Combi system

[_M_]

I got the KM110 last summer with trimmer and grass blade. Love the quick attach and the 4-mix. Smooth, quiet, plenty of power, and easy to swap tools. Planning on getting the pole trimmer, hedger, and cultivator attachment soon. Sorry I can't think of any negatives.

I use the Husky version hardhat/earmuff/face screen, for everything! I use it with all small engines; it works great when the weedeater is flinging stuff(mine has a neck cover in the back too. Use it when chain sawwing, and also on the tractor when mowing. Works as a hat, keeps stuff off the back of my neck, and since we have lots of trees, protects my head from head knockers and snap backs in the face... As well as, even though the Kubota is pretty quiet, it is still loud when mowing for hours...

Been using the Ryobi 4 cycle trimer for a couple of years, works great and NO mixing of gas/oil. I use three main attachments. The string trimer, a blade for heavy bush, and the limb trimer. All work real good. I will most likly have the replace the limb trimer soon, the housing is plastic and is starting to show quite abit of wear. Great little trimmer that does a lot of work.

Ok, impulse buy, picked it up, a little over $300.

Already went through a "spool" and am impressed with the "feed" system on the twine. Seems like this might be the first weedeater I've picked up that will actually feed the twine on a regular basis.

Interesting note what the salesmen told me about the twine. He told me to soak it in water, that it will absorb the water and you won't have any issues with the twine fraying or becoming stiff or hard to feed. First hearing about this, going to try it. The bolen that I had I had to take apart each time when the twine "got down" in size.

Overall impressed with the machine, no regrets.

Thanks

That sounds like you got an auto feed system. The only time I've used an auto feed was on an electric Black & Decker. It worked just fine, but I used a whole spool of .065" line every time I did our yard and our daughter's. So my Stihl is the "bump" feed, which also works just fine and a spool of .095" line will last through many edging and trimmings.

I for one have an issue with my Stihl stuff.

They are too forgiving.

I go out and get one of them that has been sitting for about 6 months, with crummy old fuel in it, and pull the rope twice. It starts and I cut down 25 trees. My buddy finds his missing one out in the woods where he left it a year ago. It starts right up and he finishes the project he was doing when he lost it.

How are you supposed to ever learn to properly care for equipment when it acts like that?!!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I have a Kombi system with a 4 mix power head and that thing is amazing. We have the trimmer, edger and the sweeper. The sweeper is expensive but worth every penny. I can clean up all of the gravel from the lawn and ditches in a few hours when it would take weeks of spare time with a rake and shovel. It works well on the sidewalk for cleaning up grass clippings and works well for light snow as well. It also makes a one heck of powered sqeegee.

Anybody have any comments on the tiller attachment and how easy it is to work with?

Does anyone know if the Troy-Bilt attachments (Blower and Pole Saw) will work with the Stihl Kombi Powerhead. My old Troy motor died and I want to replace it with a quality brand but really don't want to buy all new attachments too.
