![]() The other two guys that weedeated for us, use Stihl straight shafts(FS-56's), I just never could get used to a straight shaft, they turn opposite directions, and much heavier Lol. The flex shafts normaly won't give any problem if you take them apart when you buy them new, and grease the flex shaft with a good marine grease, and pack the tube full of grease as well, and put it back together, they last for a long time doing that, it's is much better than the little grease they come with. I have broken a few flex shafts in them, and had to replace the bump knob about every 3 or 4 weeks, but that's about it. One would last a home owner no telling how long. I weedeated for 10 years working for my brother and his lawn care business, and call me crazy(I have been many times Lol), but I cant stand using a straight shaft weedeater, so I used the cheapo residential FS-38 curved shafts, and with around 125 accounts total, and doing 15-18 accounts daily, Monday-Friday, a new FS-38 would last me about 1 1/2 years. The commercial market has not really accepted the 4mix design despite it being a clever new design, it would work great on small stationary engines like small pumps or generators but not so good in H/held OPE.Īnother vote for Stihl. The 4mix are bulky and heavier than the 2mix strato design 2stokes and have much lower working rpm. I just think there is much better options on the market especially for the money. All the gearbox main bearings are now a unknown Chinese make where they used to all be German INA. Using these systems as much as I do commercially they have a big amount of room for improvement. ![]() Look for a homeowner the km-94 is quite good and will serve someone well. They should have made a spring loaded locking pin like other designs. The coupling for the tools is a complex poor design that wears and stops working properly. I own km130 & km-94 power heads and all the attachments even 2 hedgetrimmer ones. The 4mix engines have great torque and power but are difficult to control throttle, its either idle or wide open, this is not good when trimming around small shrubs, edges etc. The blower attachment it good but bulky as. The pole saw has no articulating option its just straight which means your not in the best safest position to make cuts. The hedgetrimmer HT attachment has two grease ports for the two gearboxes and is a well made unit. The kombi FS attachment (trimmer) used to have a grease zerk to fill gearbox grease now the new ones as of about 15 months ago don't, the gearbox is sealed. Multi-Task Tools STIHL BG-KM Blower Attachment 149.99. Multi-Task Tools STIHL FSB-KM Curved Shaft Trimmer Attachment 71.99. All kombi equipment is in the 'pro' grade designation. All of the STIHL Kombi multi-tool attachments are compatible with their gas and battery-powered multi-tool power heads. ![]()
