Stihl Fs 91r Versus Stihl Fs 94r

[@michaelbragg6527]

Just want to say the 94 is a straight 2 stroke and the 91 is a 4 stroke, like you said. But the 2 stroke is valveless, while the 91 has valves. The valves need to be adjusted every 50-75 hours while the 94 never needs adjusting. Not a big deal as valve adjusting isn’t difficult but for someone that wants similar power and less maintenance, the 94 might be the better option.

[@rodtremlett5835]

Spot on mate! , Been a Sthil man all my life ,l have a 94 ( multi tool head) and a 91r ...( Also a multi tool 90) the 91 smashes tall grass , thick grass...but for finer work its A NIGHTMARE , the 94 is great..the 91r is on the chopping block heading for selling or either winter use only , the 90 multi tool head does a great job .. l just bought a shindawia for my main trimmer now , as just much better control on manicured lawns..Sthils 4 stroke heads , need constant valve checks through out the year, plus the " R" models seem more for thick hard work..there heavy , motor bogs in at too low a revs , the fs85 was a great model, but love the easy start and noise on new shindawia....my trimmer choices have changed as some Sthil trimmers needs to get noise, rev control and starting on there models sorted..but .sthils are still great machines, I had this discussion with Sthil dealer he thought the 91r was good for finer work???? Bit annoyed he sold me the wrong style trimmer...l told him " Not impressed" your review was my exact thoughts on those models..great review

Absolutely love my KM-94R. It's been in service for years and is always reliable and powerful. The 94s are simply awesome.

[@Joy_stick790]

I just recently bought a 94R and if I had to cut my way through the Amazon this is definitely the trimmer I’m taking. The power to weight ratio is amazing and the fuel life is amazing. I’ve been cutting the same path with other timers and I typically know when I’m gonna need to refuel. With the 94R I got to that point and kept on going and trimmed for another 20-30 minutes before I needed to refuel. (I had already been going for 30-40 minutes) I’m in love with this trimmer just wish I was able to attach an edger to it.

[@disgruntledconservativevet1798]

I Just bought a 94R. I haven’t used it. I have about 4 to 5 acres I have to mow. I got the 94R because of the weight. I’ve been doing it with a KM56, and KM90R. They are heavy units but I can change out the head. The 90R has 1.3 HP and when it’s cutting it throws stuff everywhere. I expect the 94R will do the same. Thank for the review. I have found some people like, and some hate it. I can’t say I’m excited to use it. Running any weed eater is hard work.

Both great trimmers. I personally use the FS 94-R for most trimming. For the real heavy growth I run the FS 250-R sometimes with the .105 string and sometimes with the steel clearing blades. Neither one has given me a single problem, run really strong and don't back down from any job that I need done.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Is the Fs 70 a commercial trimmer?

[@kellynewton6639]

Yes the 70 is the commercial model compareed tothe fs 56. From what I have found the 70 has 2 piston rings and a needle bearing at the end of the rod, and 4 bearings in the gearbox. I wish I could get another 94 but I don't trust it anymore, time to try the 70 I think.

[@Capmybets]

I’ve been running an fs70r for 5 years and I bought it used!! It’s got power and does the job. I live in the boonies and have a lot to cut and trim and it hasn’t let me down. If it goes down I’ll get another 70r or even a 56r. Cheers

[@douglaslawncare2843]

I’ve actually had better luck with the 91 than my two stroke 94. My 94 is getting a new carburetor put into it as we speak. Very frustrating!

[@roberta5948]

I currently use an fs94 as my primary string trimmmer. I have a 4-mix km130 kombi unit that i use primarily for tools that require more torque, as in the edger, bed redefiner, and brush cutter. I find the large powerhead on the km130 too heavy to use all day just to maintain grass. The fs94 is very lightweight and has good power for its size, perfect for medium length grass but bogs when you dive into long, thick, lush grass. I have had to replace the carb on the 94 almost annually, so that's downfall. The km130 has not given me any trouble with the valves yet, but I do put both units in for service before the start of each season. The tech has adjusted the valves on the 130 but it was only minor and didn't prevent the engine from running, it only smoothed out the idle once adjusted.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

The 91r. Just because it has a little bit more power

[@davidh6292]

Im confused. I thought you said the FS 91 was 4 stroke but still needed t mix fuel. I always thought 4 stroke you dont mix oil with fuel like cars are 4 stroke. Maybe the fs 91 is better balenced by carrying it by the handle you normally use.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Yes, the it is. It also needs mixed gas. Don’t ask me why, I just do as I’m told. 😂

[@pollcrazy]

David H yes it is wired but , intake, compression , power and exhaust, 4 stokes , but uses mixed fuel

[@roberta5948]

Stihl's 4 mix engines are 4-stroke engines that use oil mixed gas. The reason is that they do not have an oil sump crankcase like traditional 4-stroke engines. Since there isn't a wet sump crankcase to lubricate the engine internals, lubrication is provided to essential friction points via the fuel mixture. Top end engine components (valves, cam, lifters, etc) are typical to traditional 4-stroke design. The powerbands are different between the 2 types as the 4 mix engine produces better torque values at lower rpm, where the 2-stroke requires higher rpms to produce comparable torque. Each tool has its own strengths and weaknesses in the field.

[@toddmitchell2125]

Fantastic video and very informative. We run a campground and often am trimming around campers while the people are there. I have had an awesome Hitachi which weighs about 10 lbs and sounds much quieter than the average 2 stroke. I can do most trimming at very low RPMs... And low engine noise. I'm considering the 56 or the 94. They weight about the same as my Hitachi, but I'm wondering about their exhaust volume. Also the 56 at about $200 vs the 94 at $359 is quite a different. Thoughts?

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Personally I don’t think I will own anything with less power than the 94r. I do have another video where I take the 91r and the 94r through some thick weeds. Even with less power the 94r will get the job done! As to the emissions I really cant compare the two brands. It doesn’t seem that bad. I was cleaning the aerator screen at least once a month and ended up taking it off. If runs so much better with those screens off! Thanks for watching!

[@elvisbullets7382]

@BioHazardra I agree, the only time I throttle up is when edging. Stihl will tell you to run it wide open because you can wear the clutch out sooner at lower throttle. The head will spin when idling.

Don’t waste your time with a 91! Boat anchor! 94r 111rx only way to go!

[@douglaslawncare2843]

You should watch this video. Definitely not a boat anchor! Your correct that the 111rx is a beast but don’t get me wrong, the 91r can hold its own. Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5_Ne6emjKeNn5Y

I have several 4-mixes, and while I like their powerband - Sithl's engineering sucks. Perhaps I shouldn't expect more than 4-5 years out of modern stuff. The gas tank is too small on the 4-mixes (its not a saddle, but only on one side), and valves need adjusting regularly. Once a small leak happens in any of the gaskets (especially bottom end), they don't run worth a crap. I liken them to a Porsche engine regarding design / maintenance. The two strokes seem to be more robust by their nature and take more abuse. Just my take, as I'm moving away from 4-mix. All the complexity of 4-stroke, coupled with the lubricating limitations of a 2 stroke. If they were a real 4-stroke with a closed sump design, like a Honda, maybe I'd reconsider. All my next machines are 94r's.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

I love the 94r! It’s the only trimmer that I have used this year. My 91r right now is just being used as a back up.

[@RockwoodJoe]

@@douglaslawncare2843 Yeahh, just sold my last 90 and 130 and got two 94r's today. You only really need the 130 if you run a pole pruner with a bunch of extensions. Don't miss the 4 mixes at all.

[@elvisbullets7382]

@RockwoodJoe I've used 94r's the last 8-10 yrs and they've been reliable for me. Non-ethanol fuel and synthetic oil is all I use in them.

[@tinohernandez3247]

Rather so it in action

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Check this one out!! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5_Ne6emjKeNn5Y

[@perrinayebarra]

I can’t stand the awkward imbalance of 4 mix trimmers!

[@harleyward2098]

Can't you just get something to take out the ethanol. I think its called flex fuel or something but one bottle does a good bit

[@itszach6808]

Go Broncos. I have property south of the dragstrip on 131. Nice review 👍🏻

[@itszach6808]

My wife is WMU alumni

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Nice! Most people think it’s for the Denver Broncos! Ha! My brother in law played tennis there and multiple family members graduated form there. I root for them every time! (Other than when they play UofM!) Go blue!

Whipper Snippers

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Everyone has their own name for what it’s called. Ha! Personally I call it a Weed whacker. Looks like I missed another term for it!

[@YardGuy]

@@douglaslawncare2843 I usually call it a weed whacker too.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

Ha! Maybe I will start calling it Whipper Snippers though. Ha!

[@WeSRT4]

Echo for trimmers.

[@berjo959]

I have been told Echo and Shindawa are made in the same factory/same owner. But if your after a trimmer for commercial use Shindawa 👍👍 I have used Stihl for years and never looked at other brands, feels like me eyes are open now.

[@famfirst6660]

You comparing a 4 mix trimmer to a 2 cycle trimmer that's apple's to oranges

[@douglaslawncare2843]

They are the two most common Stihl trimmer’s... People want to know the difference between the two. They are actually very comparable. Thanks for watching!

[@zackeryeckenrod6549]

Using stihl oil will have you at your dealer more often it,s garbage. Echo red armor way better.

[@douglaslawncare2843]

I’ve heard this alot

[@Luis-re9rh]

Are you so confused nam nams....
