We live in Western Pa. and Have around 100 Acres of Land, About 1/2 is ours the rest is my moms, We have 4 kids and two grandchildren, 3 Golden Retrievers and one Cat. We enjoy working on our property and making improvements. We sell firewood and soon will be selling hardwood lumber.
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. 🤔🍩
@@realairplane261 Yeah, I better text him my address.
@@davidmorse8432 / Good after morning friend :-) happy Caturday ;-)
You all do know that's probably over $2,000.00 worth of equipment, without counting the UTV?
D hamby, oh boy do we know ot is over 200k for the equipment, but Motor Mike likes David and Me the best of all subscribers. 🤣🎬
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.
Mine is very old too never maintained it runs strong
Great! Nice Equipment! I am a small Mom & Pop Elite Level Stihl dealer. Sell and rent lots of those. Our customers love them!
What is the price of the full system please?
@@lawnmanmartinfan7909 Each sells separately. To many options to list, call your local STIHL dealer.
I prefer the bush hog with the air conditioning and drink holder attachment just saying 😁🤔👍
The Stihl Kombi system is awesome. I have the pole saw and hedge trimmer they work fantastic.
Life hack: The pole saw works great for clearing overgrown fence lines. I call it the Chain Saw on a Stick.
yeah its sures better then having bunch of power units to look after wich is nice i used mine with a 16 inch bar on it and my kombi blocked up 4 cords of wood plus used it for buildig my deck wich great construction tool as well
Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Have a productive day everyone.
Iv used the Stihl kombi system in my lawn care business as well as for maintaining the trail system on our hunting property for the past 10 years or so. One of the best equipment investments that I have made. Thanks for sharing!
I have had a gas powered Kombi system for years and love it.
I have a few too.
yeah me too plus eay to service too wich attachments comes off and just the engine sits on the bench and doesnt take all the room on the bench with attachment on wich why i allways buy kombi system im looking into getting a km131r
You can’t go wrong with Stihl!
kombi is the best 1 power tool to maintain instead 50 different power equipment wich ive been allways useing stihl kombi system wich ive been useing long time 1 power unit to look after instead of having all bunch different units wich kombis saves the time
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!!
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.
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.
I love to start my day with a good cup of coffee and outdoors with the Morgans.
Looks awesome Mike! I picked up the Milwaukee version of this kit with pole saw, hedge trimmer and edger last week. I used all three this weekend and don't know how I lived without them!
Good afternoon Morgans and friends. Nice tool set Mike. No internet today here. Guess it's to hot? Have a day and we'll see you all down the road.....
Good afternoon friend :-) Happy Caturday ;-)
@@badcat4707 happy Caturday my friend
you know what I hate about these videos???? I dont have any of the toys. I love watching
Yeah, but you can always turn dreams to reality, just takes some longer than others, but it CAN happen!
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.
I got the Kombi system with dozen attachments and I must say it's totally amazing. So many tools can be compacted behind the truck seat.
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.
That STIHL really is a Very Versatile Tool With all The Attachments Very Handy!! Seams It has Quite a Bit Of Power to Get The Job Done !! 👍👊
Nice tools - modern battery technology making it easier.
Stihl tools are great - pricey but worth it. Thanks for video.
These are the units that we run with….. I have the commercial backpack battery system. Great content for so many. Thx
Mike, Rex here. Great to see you put this combo to use! Very nice evaluation and how it applies to yards and property! Nice!
Thats a neat looking unit. I can see where that would come in handy. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY
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.
I have had the stihl gas kombi system for 5 years and love it. I have almost every attachment they make for it.
You'll also want to get the extension piece for increased reach with the pole saw
Will the attachments from your gas kombi work on the electric kombi? Are they compatible?
@@vilsan.r.9875yes
Bought the Stihl gas hedge trimmer on a pole made quick work of waist high weeds along the creek....Yesterday bought the Ex Mark Quest mower .... you’re becoming quite an influence.... Have a great day
Nice job. I love the kombi system although I use it with the gas version
I am glad you mad the comment about the bar oil, being the only oil you use. Electric equipment is great if you have smaller place, and its basically maintenance free.
All my Stihl gear is now Battery operated for the last year or so. Very good product. Fast charger is great too!
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
What a terrific piece of kit, thanks for showing. Regards Jim UK.
I had the same I have the same setup with gas but I don't have the hedge trimmer I don't have the pool saw but I but I love the gas power but I love the attachment
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.
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...
Stihl is one of the few that make quality equipment. Of course, you do pay for it. I kinda wish you would have given us an idea of how much we should expect to pay (MSRP) for the whole group of tools you demonstrated Mike… Marcus from Chesapeake VA.

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.
I know what I want for fathers day! Minus the Tesla:)
Very impressed with the Stihl powerhead and attachments. Need to replace e what I have which is gas powered. Will look at the Stihl. I will need and edger attachment to go along with what you have. I've got about 350 feet of driveway as well as about 140 feet of sidewalks. St Augustine grass it to tough to edge with string trimmer and would take to long. Y'all stay safe. It is pouring rain here from remnants of storm that came onshore on Gulfof Mexico yesterday.
Mike I got the Stihl Kombi also but in gas. Love it . Have pole saw(with the extension)blower and string trimmer and use it all the time. Gonna get the paddle for moving rocks out of grass. 👍
Thanks for sharing with your view of the Stihl KMA 135R Lawn Care System. That is a awesome setup for help around the yard and not having to fool around with gas. Fantastic setup and a great job with your review Mike. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Thanks Fred
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.
That looked like honeysuckle along the driveway love the smell of it.
I destroy it whenever possible--it's a nasty invasive.
I have the stihl kombi system for gas attachments, it is an incredible system!!
I wouldn’t change a thing, you’ve got fantastic and informative content great narration and you all present the channel well. Diolch (Welsh)
Great bit of kit I’ll be ordering one. Ideal for my use...
Pretty impressive equipment. I am going to look into it more. Would work with my lawn needs.
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.
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.
Good morning from Central Missouri. Very informative
Looks like a good product for a small yard and not a lot of money
If you loosen the t27 bolts on the head of the hedge trimmer and turn it 180° so it’s the right way up
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.
Just found my next investment. Thanks for the demo
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.
That hedger would be great to use like that on briars.
Nice set up!!! I like it cause no constant noise
Stihl Rocks !!!!
amazing 4-1 multi tool battery toys that get's the job done!!... thanks 4 video. be kind.
Very cool, Mike! Impressive to say the least. Nonetheless, I'm still one of those old school guys who doesn't feel like he's done his job until I smell like two-stroke exhaust! 🤣🤣🤣
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.
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?!
Mike, I have the Kombi setup and love it. Last year I purchased the KMA 131R, but regret the purchase because of the battery setup (belt, backpack & etc.). The KMA 135R would have been ideal for my property. I like that the 135R has the batter attached to the unit. Wished I would have waited a year for the 135R to come out. Started the battery powered journey due to a bad shoulder. Nice review Mike!
Nice setup from Stihl. You made quick work of your mum's driveway.
Good video. I love a good pole saw ! Stihl is loving you !
Hi Mike and Mallisa!!😀😀
The battery technology has come such a long way in the past few years and is still getting better all the time!!
Looking forward to seeing you folks again when we are at the frenzy. Have a safe trip over and I'll see you next Saturday!!😀😀
Logger Al
You are the man ! Another great video !
Good morning Morgan family ☕️ nice job Mike, attachments seemed easy enough... my mom will point out the spots I missed 🤣 have a blessed day
Wish they had this system many years ago...funny my old hedge trimmer conked yesterday
Happy Father's Day
Thanks for the demo. Nice little gadget. Keep the videos coming.
Missing Kate and Levi's Thai-d up with the Morgans, understandable with having a new baby. Hope all is well.
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.
I do like the Stihl line of equipment. Great video thanks for sharing.
I am in trouble! Don't know how I will get buying this KMA 135 past my wife, but I've got to have one.
Very impressive tools!! Thank you for the demo's!! I like it 😎
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.
That is a good idea. Regular Bar and Chain oil is filthy.
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.
@@python3574 yeah, it's not the perfect solution in every case, but when possible, it's a better way.
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… 😅😅
Good job on the review!, I have a fl90 weed eater it's great, but I need a smaller trimmer in tight places and a pole saw for the driveway!. That set up would be perfect!. Morgans have a day!.
Do you have the Stihl FS 90, which is the FS91 now? Reason I ask is...I have a FS90R, and all the 2 cycle Kombi attachments work on my FS90...well the adjustable hedge trimmer(so it can be used like a sickle), and the pole saw chain saw do for sure. I need to look into a few more of the attachments as well.
@@jimmieusaf-pol2639 I have the. FS 90R!.
Ready to see you demo the Ford Lightning. Not ready for full battery yet but agree they have gotten much better.
I like your new video today you did i really good jop it look really nice good jop this was really nice you help your mom out love your video
Great video. Thank you.
Good demo
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.
Howdy mike my wife suggested use the hedger like a Sicklebar mower I bet it would cut like a pro ?
Always take care of Mom. Your kids will see that example.
A obvious comercial that i aprove of. youtube hits me with blatently false, ofensive , or simply disgusting advertisments every 3 to 5 minuits. you present intresting, informative content. thank you.
Geez watching that hedge trimmer was like a scene from a scary movie 🎥 🍿 😂
Gett'en it done the Stihl way! Adding them to my Christmas wish list. Thanks for the review Mike!
Hey Mike I’m so glad you switched from the camera on the hedge trimmer to on your head when you started weed trimming. I thought I was gonna loose it and need a motion sickness pill! 😂
Thanks for your personal opinion on the Stihl battery tools we r thinking about getting some and your opinion sealed the deal …
Stihl can't buy a commercial like that. Err...well, I take that back. Yes they can. I suspect they just did. :)
Sponsership from Stihl, very nice!
Great video !
I have the large gas Kombi power head. I was surprised how well the blower worked. I have cut 6 inch limbs with saw and carbon fiber extension. I need to confirm the attachments I have are compatible with electric head.
I use the FH-KM 145° Adjustable Power Scythe in place of the string trimmer most of the time.
I am a Stihl dealer, all the attachments are compatible.
I bought the gas kombi system 8 years ago. Most people would buy each of the 4 units you used and then have to maintain 4 engines. Most of the time they would not get used enough and then bad gas issues. I have one engine and 8 attachments. If it dies in the next 10 plus years I will go electric. Been wanting to see the electric one in action.
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!
Good demo Mike. I was impressed with bat life. Nice unit and I will look into that system.
I HATE that you quit numbering the videos! I have a lot of health issues and have bad days & really bad days. I made a file that I put the videos in so I can watch them in the order you post them. But now if I miss several days I'm not sure what order they fall. I watch them on my really bad days when I can't get out of bed.
The back-and-forth on the camera was a little tough but boy you sure have some good tools. Good review Mike thanks for sharing
Mike, I feel like that now we have you full time... I need more than 15 -ish mins a day...... can we shoot for 30-ish? I wake up every day waiting to see the Morgans and I feel like I am just not getting enough....just a simple request...
This reminds me of playing Doom or Quake!
What does it weigh with the different heads on it .I have a bad back and my big Husqvarna string trimmer gets the best of me and I have a lot to trim around. I really enjoy your videos. May God bless you and your family and channel.
