Man, that Kombi system would make a great Father's day present, (hint, hint...). Mainly because with the battery powered unit, I could get my wife to do some of the manual yard work and I could ride the mower around. That way I could stay out of trouble for weed wacking her flowers that look like weeds to me.

Impressive eah David! Soon his diesel will be electric. Motor made the comment he never thought he would see the day that electric would take over his tools. Maybe Motor Mike will send you and me a complimentary system like this. 🤔🍩

I have this system in the gas model and have had it since 2008. It is the best investment I have made in my yard landscaping equipment. Not cheap starting out but used it for the last 13 yrs no issues and I have beat the crap out of it, string trimmer, hedge trimmer used at least 1-2 times a week for hedges and keeping brush back from a electric fence. 👍👍👍 I also have a 4ft extension bar to get those high to reach branches.

I use my Stihl HL94K hedge trimmer as a weed eater, it doesn't throw the clippings all over the place like a string trimmer will and it's a lot more powerful for cutting briars and ivy. Hi Hunter!!

[@cwolf8841]

I use the hedge trimmer to cut grass & weeds. Works better in some ways than the string trimmer. They also have a backpack battery and a harness.

Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Have a productive day everyone.

[@bobblenuts]

I have same Stihl combo but gas powered. When using the extension it's a back breaker on my old bones but works great. Bar oil leaks out of saw but other than that very happy with the Stihl.

[@gungadinn]

Last year after fighting getting the 2 stroke equipment started, I purchased the Milwaukee Quick-Loc system. They don't have a blower that attaches to the power head, but the do have an edger and an extension pole. Also, Milwaukee has a large button to press after you unscrew the pinch bolt. What does the drive shaft look like on the Stihl? It would be nice to mix and match the Combi system to chose the best from each manufacturer. What you'll love about the swivel head on the hedge trimmer attachment is you can rotate the head to the point that it can be used a a sickle. For heavy brush, it works fantastic. After going electric for this application, it's just a matter of time before a zero turn mower provides some acreage. Cub Cadet is the only all electric lawn tractor I've seen, but it's only 42 inches wide, and is supposed to cut 2 acres per charge, and no one can tell me what the replacement batter is going to cost.

[@danielclapp636]

I have the Milwaukee M18 version of the combination system. Powerhead, polesaw, and string trimmer. Love it for ease of use. Only drawback was that I had to buy it, Milwaukee didn’t lend it to me. Great video as usual. Have a day Morgan gang.

[@jh9855]

Hello. I purchased the KMA 135r and have used it for one month. Awesome tool. I also purchased the 3000 battery pack and with the battery on my back, the KMA 135r is lightweight. My only gripe is the belt as Stihl put the clip on left side so latching and I latching the belt is pain. I did not know there is a blower for the KMA 135r and will have to check it out at the hardware store. I highly recommend this system. No more frustration trying to start something.

When using any hedge trimmer spray the blades with WD 40 to keep them from gaming up. Tip was by a still rep. You can only put 1 3 ft. Extension on the pole saw. My dealer told me 3 but another dealer told me only one. If you look at the pole saw it will tell you only one extension. I think a gas head will work with all the attachments.

[@MrThuggery]

All my Stihl gear is now Battery operated for the last year or so. Very good product. Fast charger is great too!

[@richardbrowne1679]

I’ve been using the Kombi system (Gas) for about 6 years now. I run a string trimmer, pole saw with the extension, the blower, lawn edger, and cultivator. I might be adding the battery power head to the arsenal.

I'm looking at going cordless for my weed eater, cultivator attachments. Right now I have the 25cc 2 stroke Troy Bilt power head, but Dewalt has come out with a Flexvolt power head so I may switch, as the attachments I have now from MTD will work with the Dewalt Flexvolt 60V power head....I'm tired of messing with gas powered equipment where I don't need it...I have to keep my lawn tractor because the electric ones don't have a PTO provision for my 42" Snow Blower attachment.

[@richbissonnette301]

I purchased the STIHL KM94R last month, just the pole trimmer and I love it! I was jus looking for the pole trimmer, but when I saw the system it was a no brained. One engine to service for multiple tools. When the 10 year old Echo trimmer dies I will buy the trimmer and edger. This fall buying the cultivator to do some touch ups in the yard and flower beds for next spring.

[@jameshancock18]

If you loosen the t27 bolts on the head of the hedge trimmer and turn it 180° so it’s the right way up

[@StartBuildingYourDreams]

Mike, I recently did a video with the Dewalt 60V Flexvolt system testing it with multiple attachments. These multi-head electric systems are pretty awesome for those quick projects. They’re literally grab and go. That Stihl looks nice! I think I’ve used just about every attachment but a blower. That blower was actually pretty impressive! I got a good laugh out of ”throw it in the back of your Tesla and start a lawn care service🤣😂🤣”…I recently saw Ryobi has an electric Zero Turn…. It’s amazing how far battery technology has come. ~Jon

[@dodgeman658]

Mike I have the same thing just in gas power was afraid the battery wouldn't hold up long enough for me! Best investment I ever made especially the 145degree hedge trimmer.

[@FixItWithMe]

Have u used the extension with the hedge trimmer on the battery power unit?? I am debating vs buying the gas 131 and the battery 135r. But I need to use extensions in both hedge trimmer and pole saw, and don’t know if the 135r will have enough power for this?? Anyone have any experience with this and can give advice?!

[@philsmock4943]

Phil here from NE Indiana. I already have the Stihl battery powered blower, string trimmer and chainsaw. I got them mainly for the wife cause she could never start the gas engine ones. But I'm using them more and more. Love the MSA 200C chainsaw. Looking to buy the pole saw next. I am impressed with the Stihl battery life. These battery powered tools are no toys. They are the real deal for me. With my JD zero turn mower I have no need for a battery powered lawn mower but I wouldn't mind seeing how one of those work. These Stihl tools are loaners but it's great watching someone actually use them in an everyday situation. I do watch and think that maybe I need one of those. Like an excavator...

[@BillB23]

After the housing crash in '08 my business partner and I liquidated and re-invested in landscape equipment. We had a similar Stihl unit with a gas power head. For heavy mowing that would require a brush hog we would articulate the head on the hedger and use it like a scythe. Worked like a champ.

[@keithbays2724]

That hedger would be great to use like that on briars.

Good morning from Central Missouri. Very informative

[@MikeZMonroe]

Good demonstration. I could have used this when I owned my home. In practical terms Mike would have used the mower to trim the driveway edge but for demonstration sakes hewed wacked.

[@regsparkes6507]

This, and of all the equipment that Stihl has/makes, the one that I just bought is one that really impresses me. Here's a good ( if not, great ) small'ish cordless trimmer that will impress you. Check one out, look at ALL of it's features, it's the model FSA 45. You WILL be surprised!

[@Morgan2XL]

Have you looked at the AP1000 back pack battery should be able to go all day with it. When I weed wack our driveway it usually takes 2 tanks so the equal would be 2 or more of the AP300 batteries. The AP1000 takes something over an hour to recharge. There is a carbon fibre saw tube avail. With the pole saw, cultivator and strimmer Kombi head and AP 1000 c/w quick charger I was quoted around CDN~~$1300 There is also a UK study on heavy gas strimmers and retinal detachment in over 50 guys- so thats why I am following closely.

Good morning Mike, so far I am sold on Stihl Battery operated products. I purchased the MSA140C chainsaw and love it. Plus it's always in the truck box on our side x side very handy when trail riding.

[@backtoedenallnaturallandsc5547]

We use the Kombi system all day every day. It’s an amazing platform. One note to pass along is that your hedge trimmer needs to be spun around on the end of the shaft. The orange plate should be facing down when you have it extended straight out. A good T25 on an impact will do you solid. That and the STIHL contractor string line pairs with the KM-131s famously. It does bite harder when it breaks off and flies back at you though… 😅😅

[@htpadventures3989]

Geez watching that hedge trimmer was like a scene from a scary movie 🎥 🍿 😂

Pretty impressive equipment. I am going to look into it more. Would work with my lawn needs.

[@LongBinh70]

I have a Stihl gas hedge trimmer I've used for years, but not for hedges! It's angled like a hockey stick, and it's my default "string" trimmer (but no string). Besides not having a string to break, it's an extremely wide cut, and just laughs at those woody- or thick-stemmed weeds that destroy a string. I find I need to take the head apart and sharpen the blades after about two years of use. Oh, and you can use it on hedges, too! 🤣 Try it before you send the loaners back.

Mike, do you know if we already have the kombi system with the gas engine head. Can we use the attachments we have if we just buy the new electric power head? ThAt would be really sweet if we can.

[@dwb73]

Mike, a tip I learned from a professional arborist on chainsaws of any size- For lighter jobs, you can use clean vegetable cooking oil instead of petroleum based bar oil. Canola oil is what we use now. We use it in the battery operated pole saw all the time. It's cheaper, and better for the environment. Save the petroleum based bar oil for heavy duty hardwood chainsaw cutting.

[@bryans5339]

That is a good idea. Regular Bar and Chain oil is filthy.

[@python3574]

Good idea, however every Stihl saw I own leaks bar oil worse than an old Harley Davidson. That's 4 chainsaws and 1 polesaw. Vegetable oil would run out of those things like water compared to Stihl oil. If they didn't leak so bad, and constantly, it would be a HUGE cost savings to use vegetable oil, though.
