I've got the Stihl Combi system with the KM94 2-Mix stratified combustion engine, blower, line trimmer, pole saw, adjustable angle hedge trimmer, edger, and carbon extension. Had it for around 12 years to look after around five residential properties and replaced the whole suite a couple of years ago. I went for the KM94 again because it is a simple 2 stroke without the complication of valve train like the 4-Mixes, is reliable, economical, adequately powerful, and importantly 0.4kg lighter than the 4-Mixes. The blower is fantastic and all the other tools do the job well. The new hedge trimmer attachment has the same number of teeth as the old one but is shorter with a smaller bite which annoyed me. I've read that the gearboxes can fail in them so I'm assuming that instead of beefing up the gearbox they lazily just de-loaded them. The Husqi trimmer is longer and looks more commercial. The other weak point is the plastic insert and key which fit into the end of the attachments. The connection relies on the clamp to prevent the attachment rotating. Other systems have a pawl which mechanically locks them in place. The plastic key eventually gets damaged and you have to replace the insert. Not a big deal or expense but a design flaw imo. That being said, overall the Combi is a very good system which provides very good leverage to my time.
I have a fairly big property in rural Australia (for residential), I owned both gas (Stihl) and electric (Dewalt). We went with electric. Gas is way more powerful, but it's unnecessary if you are just a home owner, take the extra few seconds a season to cut but save big on maintenance and gas. If it was our day to day business, in most areas 100% would go gas but if I was had regular clients in managed areas of Sydney where the growth is not crazy I would probably have an electric system. Our next big electric investment is a ride-on mower (we want to wait for someone other than Ryobi to make one).
Thanks for your review! I was thinking about getting the Dewalt but decided against it after seeing the performance. I just ordered the Oregon 40v as it seems to cut better although I already have many Dewalt tools. Well, will see if that was the right decision. The Stihl is out of my price range for my occasional use. Thanks again! 🙋🏻♀️Anna
I will concur. I've had mine for about six years and the motor brushes just recently went kaput. I got this Dewalt and I also immediately noticed the hesitation to start if the chain is resting on the branch. The Harborfreight which runs on 120 volt 6.5 amps had plenty of torque and didn't have this problem. I think the Harborfreight also spins faster so when I do undercuts it doesn't push me or start bucking the way this Dewalt does. It could also be the chain is more aggressive as the video said. Harborfreight is half a pound lighter, a foot shorter, corded, more powerful, leaks a lot of oil, only $65. If you don't need to go cordless then the Harborfreight is the way to go if you can manage the oil leak during storage.
Ain't nothing wrong with battery powered stuff. He used a slow ass pole Saw if he would have got a milwaukee pole Saw it would have ended that gas powered pole Saw life!
Not even a close comparison review.Your comparing a gas powered lite commercial product to a consumer bought tool.If you really want to compare try useing the price factor as Stihl will be again if not more than the Dewalt.Both good products within their capacity
I agree. For the price Dewalt is a great tool. I guess I had my hopes up after using the hand held chainsaw by Dewalt. It blew me away with how good it was. But again pole saw is half the price of the hand chainsaw

Thank you!

Gasoline every time. No contest.

@@jzea5605 very cool! Good points. Thanks for watching! 😎
Thanks for saving me from a costly mistake!!

You bet glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
I think for a home owner it's worth it
Yes it’d be great
Wow stihl the best sir 👍👍
Yeah, the chain is way to aggressive on mine too. Easily fixed though. And the motor is heavy.
Can you please advise how you fixed this please?
@@gpon. buy a different chain, duh lmao
How does the Echo Pas 225 compare with the Stihl in the video?
I’ve never used one. We don’t really have any Echo dealers near me, so idk.
Деволт мощный высоторез.
My eletric harbor freight pole saw cuts like butter compared to that Dewalt

Цікаво було б глянути відео огляд на порівняння висоторізів DeWALT 20V з 60V...
Poor neighbor. That tree looked alive? Shame
Over a year later and the trees are doing great.
💪🥇✊
Thanks!
But that's $225 vs $650
Very true. The Dewalt is not bad for the price at all
The dewalt is 150 for the tool only, great deal when you already own several larger batteries
Stihl for the win, plus I hate the battery stuff...
By far! Batterie powered has come a long way, but there’s still nothing like gas powered comercial equipment.
@@Sargeantyardpros I bet my milwaukee pole Saw will shit all over that gas powered pole Saw.
