How To Use A Weedeater Like a Pro - REVIEW Stihl FS 91 R String Trimmer

[@mmafanatic90]

God, how I’ve missed the days of Dan’s Vlog… it’s like 2017 all over again!

[@DansVlog]

I miss you guys as well. I wish I could still be out there mowing and doing daily videos but my body just isn’t up for it anymore. I will be doing vids every weekend tho and they will be mowing and action vids like the old days.

[@mmafanatic90]

@@DansVlog i understand. I have my own lawn business now and your videos played a major role in that sir. I can never thank you enough. I’m glad you’re back.

[@ciphercode2298]

I bought a fs70r a couple years ago after watching your videos about and even took your advice on using the .080 line on it. I've always enjoyed using it and it's made me plenty of money. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience throughout the years. I hope you keep putting out content for years to come.

[@DansVlog]

Thank you! That .080 is the best darn line ever made!!

[@cutnshine]

Welcome back. I thought I would mention the Stihl you have there along with any Stihl models ending with 1, like 91, 111, 131 etc are actually a 4 stroke or 4 cycle engine. Stihl calls them 4-mix. In essence a 4 cycle engine that runs on Premixed fuel-oil. They have valves but no crankcase with oil as typically found in conventional 4 stroke engines. Also the KM variants are the Stihl Kombi systems where the F series are Fixed one piece strait shafts. Peace

[@DansVlog]

Awesome info! Thanks bro. I did a few maintenance videos tuning up and adjusting the valves on my 4 mix 100 a few years ago. I prefer 4 mix low rpm high torque trimmers over the whining screaming 2 cycle engines.

[@cutnshine]

@@DansVlog For sure, I remember those vids awesome job. I always call my 131 my Harley.Just like you said low rpm, gobs of torque, trim on brother!

[@emtbulldog32]

Glad to see you back Dan. You were the reason i started my side hustle and the reason i bought my honda push mower.

[@DansVlog]

I am honored to be a positive influence. Thank You

[@EricStevenTerry]

Just jumped from a Remington Rustler (MTD) 2-stroke 25cc to this FS 91R... My goodness, the power!

[@exit0394]

Happy your family life is good again and I am glad you are back making videos. I tried .080 line a few years ago after watching your video. Didn’t think it would make that big a difference. You said the difference is between a butter knife and a baseball bat… the reality is it is more like a scalpel vs a baseball bat. I run an echo PAS225 and I almost never go much more than half throttle because it cuts so easy under normal conditions. I was so wrong about the different line size.

[@DansVlog]

I am happy it worked out for ya. People always wanna beat their chests and brag about size… smh… it’s all technique!!

[@raulsanchez4493]

I used to have a Honda 4 stroke weed eater. It was great but that unit weighed 15 pounds. I sold it & traded for he Stihl FS94r which weighs 10 pounds. Very nice light weight unit for my yard. I love it!

[@DansVlog]

Awesome. Sounds like you made a good choice

[@keithienmason4643]

That's the reason why I bought it I've been wanting one for a long time I've finally gotten one that I want but I wanted a 111R for my next trimmer that's a bigger size trimmer then I'm use to I will grow in to it I've used one of those 111R string trimmer it's a nice trimmer that I ever used in my life

[@DansVlog]

Ya man. A ton of power. That’s for sure

[@mattcovington779]

@@DansVlog great, thanks! I hope you are too. I was so happy to see the new videos as they are really helpful.

[@keithienmason4643]

I have a fs56 RC string trimmer it's the bomb best weed eater eater I ever bought in my life I will try not to buy nothing else but high quality string trimmer such as blue max red Max shindaiwa echo Husqvarna Hitachi McCulloch John Deere weed eater as well but Stihl is great as well love it

[@DansVlog]

Good quality last s a long time!

[@sirliftsalot1154]

The RX has a lighter weight gear head and a lighter solid yet hollow inner driveshaft. R = loop handle, and X = lightweight version. I replaced the old motor and clutch on my 100 RX since it was such a good trimmer. A 400 speed feed also lightened up my RX even more and reduced line breakage at high rpm. I also have an 85R I'm almost done restoring.

[@DansVlog]

Great info, thank you, Sir!

[@dfields9511]

Good to see you back on KZbin I just acquired a KM91R with strait trimmer attachment for FREE. It’s broken but I am going to try to fix when get time. I have sent some of your trimmer videos links to others trying to learn how to use a trimmer. They think I use a edger on my yard but I tell them I use a string trimmer and I learned from your videos. For now I use a 25cc Murray m2510 by MTD yah cheep but fires up all the time on 5th season now. Only replaced bump knob x3 and throttle cable x1. I use only Non-ethanol fuel with full synthetic 2 cycle oil I also have a trash picked Troybilt split shaft with bought a $5 strait shaft attachment at yard sale for longer reach when I am Handling brush. On my back hill into a rain run off location

[@DansVlog]

Curb finds and yard sales are a great place to score awesome deals. That KM 91R is the same machine as in this video just in a Kombi set up. If you get it working you will be super lucky!

[@timrichards4236]

FS91R 4 mix oil mix 50:1 like a 2 stroke but it is a 4 stroke with valves and cam check valve adjustment about every 100 hours of run time it is a very good weedeater

[@ryanfoley9999]

I bought one it's the best weedeater I've ever owned.

[@appleztooranges]

Is this the same as the km91R? I just got the kombi91R. Love it

[@DansVlog]

Yes I believe the K is for Kombi (combination) but the engine is the same

[@appleztooranges]

@@DansVlog yeah that thing is an awesome machine. I got mine at a tag sale. $75.00. I did your tuneup video and works like new. Checked the valve clearance and helped a lot with starting up. I got a rubber paddle, weed eater, pole saw, and hedge trimmer attachments for it. Awesome machine

[@MadDogClyde741]

Hi Dan ! i’d like to say something about your channel. I watch some videos on your sodium hyperchloride makes juice and stuff for power washing decks houses, etc. and the hell I said, let me check Dan’s channel. Man let me tell you something you’ve got a lot of interesting videos. I love it and it didn’t take me more than a few seconds of looking at your videos to make me join and subscribe to your channel. You have a lot of knowledge Dan and you know how to express it for regular Joe’s to understand it. Thank you so much and you won me over. have an awesome day and makes some more awesome videos 👍🏻

[@cheeko42053]

They make a blade attachment kit for the small to med size blades for this trimmer. Works pretty well

[@DansVlog]

Awesome!

[@rickyf8808]

That guard also keeps your line the proper length. It’s important to keep your engine from getting too hot.

[@DansVlog]

That’s hot garbage. The length of your line is just because the manufacturer doesn’t want to have to warranty the clutch, the shaft, and the gear head so they make the line so short there’s very little resistance. If you’re running the shield with 17 inch line and you’re using allowable 105 line, that is going to have far more stress on the unit than if you’re using .080 line at 19 inches with no shield… don’t be a lemming. I NEVER burned up a shaft, clutch, gear box or engine.

[@inspiredx3866]

Gotta love Stihl, I've had mine for 10 yrs

[@DansVlog]

I am a huge Stihl fanboy

[@thomasd6020]

Guten Tag! My German is rusty… I enjoyed every moment of the 2 years I was stationed in Wurzberg/Geibelstadt. I had a flat across the River from that beautiful castle

[@robertboltz2102]

Really good information. Thank you

[@tampadad]

I have been tempted to get a kombi unit to replace my cheapo ryobi

[@DansVlog]

I HIGHLY recommend the Stihl Kombi system. I had the 90 model engine. I recommend going more powerful to ensure your head unit is strong enough for all the attachments you may want to use. A 90 limits your options but is plenty good for the trimmer, edger and headgear trimmer attachments

[@Colton_davis]

I 100% disagree. I have the same thing with the guard on, and it works good. Does not do much of a difference except make people more stupid 🙄

[@DansVlog]

😂 Name calling is so very smart! You honestly think the shield protects anything? That is what is stupid. A false sense of security. I broke a window behind me said no one ever… the shield is cosmetic dressing installed by manufacturers to reduce potential lawsuits from operators who don’t know how to control their line.

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Learn to use a scythe .. no noise, no pricy fuel and 2 cycle oil to purchase, no pricy batteries to buy, no electicity needed to charge batteries, no air pollution, minimal maintenance, no string to buy, a quality brand sythe never becomes obsolete, personal health benefits from gettting a light physical workout to keep your upper body and torso in fine form.. ( less time spent at the gym) the bonus you can get all your trimming done before 7AM.. Dave Oxford has numerous YT videos on proper technique and as you go sharpening regarding trimming with a scythe...Have a good life.👍

[@JordanP6885]

That's ridiculous. It takes so much more time and can't do numerous other things that a string trimmer can do
