Never had to buy one as my old HS45 & HS81R are still going strong! Though I predominantly run Husqvarna equipment, Stihl are level with Husky as the two best brands on the market in my opinion and would recommend either!!

A new one to my stihl collection. Ir reminds me of a sawfish

I am trying to decide between the hs56 and hs82r/t ..aside from more gas capacity, the engine sizes are super close. Any advantage in toting around 2 more lbs of the 82? Thanks! Great vids

[@joshuabush2569]

I noticed that you said the blades were hardened steel, is that the same for the Kombi hedge trimmer attachments?

Great video

If a homeowner is using an HS-56 in a purely residential setting, do they still have to lubricate the gearbox? Stihl's factory documentation states that it's a maintenance step only if the trimmer is used commercially, and then every 25hrs :/

Excellent review. I’ve got this model, really like it. The light weight is why I got it over the 82 version. Thanks for gearbox tip.

[@walderlj45able]

Nobody can see what you're pointing at camera is to far away I need to know how to start it and add fuel

[@THERIGHTWAY8164]

[@BSallDAY86]

[@galvezlawncare2754]

Thank you very much very well explain videos. I am a steel customer 100% I started my land scape business Couple years ago and all I tried to run is Sthil products

[@Carlsmower]

You chose well!

[@ourpresidentswallows6017]

I’m just gonna take the cover off right away I’m not gonna shut the thing down once it fires then take the cover over and fire it again that’s ridiculous lol

[@Carlsmower]

Safety first 😀.

[@scdc9013]

It keeps stalling out??? First couple of hours it was fine, now it stalls out when i give it gas. Any help?

[@Carlsmower]

How long have you owned it?

[@scdc9013]

Maybe 45 day, 5 or 6 tanks of fuel

[@scdc9013]

Will run well the first ten minutes then stall out when i accelerate the blade

[@Carlsmower]

@@scdc9013 I wonder if you have a fuel tank vent issue. Maybe try immediately open fuel cap, reinstalling and then see what happens.

[@scdc9013]

@@Carlsmower the cap could be on wrong?
