- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- I finally had it with my Troy Bilt messing up and replaced it with a new Stihl KM 91 R. I love it! Plus, I found that my current Troy Bilt Trimmer plus attachments work with the Kombisystem.
Let's also take a look at the front yard after the Xgrn application!
It's greeeeeeen!

Best shirt ever. Love it
I basically have the same story as you. I bought junk from Lowe’s it breaks down etc etc. So I went to the Stihl dealer 5 minutes from my house, spent the extra money and bought the 91R and it is just night and day difference. The power and balance is just next level. I can’t even imagine how powerful the bigger ones are. From now on I will not buy any of my lawn gear that I use all the time from a big box store. I went ahead and bought the Stihl straight shaft trimmer and and curved edger. I didn’t want to have any discrepancies with the dealer about warranty issues.
So the 91r is powerful enough? I've been looking into them and wasn't sure if I should go 91r or the 131. Huge difference in price, but if the 91r has enough power I'll just get that one
@@TheOnefalcon07 yeah man. I bought the kombi so I do everything with it. Edge hedge trimmers and string trimming. The only time it ever struggles at all is if I have a worn out blade for the edger but I just keep a pack of 10 of them. They’re like $3 each. Also I replaced the string trimmer head with the echo quick feed head. That’s pretty common practice on all the stihl trimmers.
@@JonBecker81 awesome! Looks like I'm gonna save some money with the 91r and not the 131. In today's economy 120 bucks saved is great.
Yeah I've never had mine bog down. I could only imagine how powerful the larger ones are. Probably snap your hand off if it kicked, lol
@@TheLawnStripes thanks for the info
Glad that new one works with all of the attachments. That would have pissed me off too. And you can definitely tell the XGRN is working.
Yeah I wasn't happy when it didn't work at first. Xgrn is legit. It's looking pretty good right now.
@@TheLawnStripes We just finally got some rain here the other day. Yard is looking way better now.
@@YardGuy nice. I had hit the lawn with the sprinklers and then a few days later we got a pretty good downpour a few times since then. I really need to mow the front now. Ran out of time when I mowed the back and side.
Nice info about the Stihl and TB attachments. Enjoy the new tool!
Thanks!
It'll be hard to convince me to switch from my Stihl equipment. The trimmer and blower I've got are solid. I just keep stair-stepping up as the budget allows. The Kombi is definitely in the future.
Nice!
I love mine so far. It took me a while to build up to making the purchase.
@@TheLawnStripes I hear ya there. Those things aren't cheap, but I'm sure it's so worth it!
@@BudgetLawns im glade i dont buy power equipment from the box stores and im glade i buy stihl from dealer at least they start it up to make sure it works before leaving the store
Those stihl trimmers are expensive but they will last a very long time if you take care of it. That motor is a 4 stroke that uses 2 stroke mix gas. You do have to periodically adjust the valves on it.
You save money by not replacing cheap crap every 2 years with more cheap crap, your wife should thank you (hold your breath, it'll come any second). In addition to saving money, you get to use something nicer, and the right tool always does a better job in more ways than one. Thanks for the video.
😆
It definitely has saved me money and time. Wife still hasnt thanked me, but thats ok, lol. Thanks for watching!
Just grabbed a stihl km91R at a tag sale for $75. Thing runs mint
Thats a steal! Nice!
Troybilt isn’t what it used to be 15 years ago. Really anything made by MTD I stay away from now. Knowing what I know now it’s worth it to buy pro grade stuff. Glad to see the attachments work with the stihl! Stihl charges a premium for those attachments. Same as echo. Only thing I don’t like about echo is the expensive attachments. I saw another vid a couple months ago of a guy swapping attachments between 3 different brands to see what would work with what. That should save you some money. The stihl should last you a long time great investment.
I just order myself a km 91 r and 2 attachments the straight shaft trimmer head and the rubber paddle brush
🤘😁🤘
Awesome!!
How do you like your sthil km91r because I’m thinking about buying that model
Not once have I regretted buying it. You won't be disappointed
Hey man great video and thanks for sharing. I’m looking to pull the trigger on this; mainly for brush cutting through tall grass and thorn bushes. Do you recommend this model or do you think I need to go 131R? I am not doing it every day and will be a few times a year I would brush cut to help keep the invasive vines down that come from the rose bushes in my area. Thanks!
I personally haven't used it for brush cutting. I use the tiller, and it works fine. I could say sure because it has quite a bit of power, but if the brush is really thick, maybe the next step up for power might not be bad. It's better overpowered than under when it comes to that stuff in my opinion.
If you get the adjustable hedge trimmer (get the one they call a scythe), it will tunnel through blackberries like a magic wand and power doesn't seem to be a factor, just maximum brush size. I will say it's easy to cut everything off a stout bush and leave just a 4 foot high stump to cut with the right tool. The metal grass blade will too, but I think that three point metal brush knife is the thing to have. I haven't seen it myself, but the videos make it look far superior to the grass blade, and I saw a guy using it to saw about 3" trees. He might have had the hands of a gorilla, I don't know, but it was sawing through the tree, even after he hit it hard against a cinder block.
Push it in further, trust me!!
Hello...
Any issues a year later with the trimmer plus attachments? Have a ryobi expand with all the attachments and planning on doing the same as you did. Thanks
No sir, not a single issue. Just used them yesterday actually. I did buy a straight shaft though because it was easier to edge with.
Thanks!
Some will work and some won’t, when you look at the non Stihl attachments you will notice some of the drive shaft are more recessed into the tube than others. Obviously if they are to recessed they will not work we or at all.
How’s that Commander running?
Like a top. Have hardly had any issues out of it. Wife has had it for almost 9 years.
U must have had the only good Troybilt rep. My dad talked to a few different csr's. His weedeater was bad from the start. The shaft inside was broken. Came like that from the box.
Yikes. Yeah, after having 2 go bad I don't think I will ever buy troy-bilt again. I've had nothing but good luck with my stihl.
Reading the manual for this model, it's calling for mixed fuel... Hearing it in the video it sounds like a 4-stroke.. So I'm thinking wtf is this?? Best I can deduce is this is a 4 stroke that is fuel-lubricated. I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I go to buy one.
Yeah it's some odd newer engine they made. It definitely sounds like a hefty 4 stroke at idle but is a 2 stroke. Iunno 🤷♂️
Just think of it as an 4 stroke has valves and rockers but uses 2 stroke fuel
I've had similar experiences with 4-cycle weed wackers. I don't know why, but they seem like they're junk.
seems like especially the big box store ones. they're just built cheaper as opposed to ones more built for commercial use.
Don't expect those troy built attachments to last very long with the extra power behind them.
Guess we shall find out.
😁
Repair shop told me to make sure to pack the shaft of these attachments with grease and they last a lot longer
4 years later they're still going strong
@@TheLawnStripes good to hear.
Nvm
🤣
Omg
@@therandomman6647 I'm just glad it worked
Sooo....this was about Troy Built? Waste of time.
Clearly you didn't watch the whole video
