I owned a stihl fs130 string trimmer, fc90 edger, & km130 hedge
trimmer, 3 dedicated machines with 3 different engines to maintain and
they took up quite a bit of storage space. Sold all 3 on offerup and
bought a km130 kombi head with straight string trimmer, edger,
articulating hedge trimmer, pole saw, cultivator and 2 extension poles
for the price I sold the 3 dedicated units for and still had a little
change left. Kombi is so much better and takes much less space, plus I
now have a pole saw and cultivator too. so I'm more than happy with it.
Changing the heads out is fast and easy, just make sure you keep the
ends of the poles greased so they attach and detach without getting
stuck and you won't have to fight with them.
Just used my new extensions on the kombi. SICK!! Should be illegal it's so good. Fits in the back if my Ute like it's not even there. I love how that little bit if extra weight helps the chain glide through wood quickly without having to hold any pressure. Awesome tools. Thanks for the vide bro
Kieth wanted to tell you thank you Man been watching your vlogs since i started 4 years ago I started with nothing i was doing cleanups first on foot with a rake and shovel started landscaping and the mowing lawns but I feel I became successful because of your vlogs motivation Craigslist and door to door sales I live in Colorado
I loved the little articulating hand sign. Made me laugh out loud!
Kieth I'm loving Landscaping. This is my second season and I'm taking some hard knocks but I've learned so much from your videos and in fact you were the one who inspired me to start a business last season. Im Making money and learning everyday. I want you to know that your videos impact people's lives in a very meaningful way. In a world where nobody will tell you Jack schitt about time good job or just little tricks people just cock block and stiff arm and you open up and tell us the things that are so important. Thank you and God bless!!!!
#KKALLDAY. I needed this today thx!!! LOL Every Stihl Kombi owner has lost this damn nut in the grass. NOT FUN. Live and learn my stihl kombi friends.
I just bought a km 91r. I payed it off in 3 hours of work!! They are money making beast!
Thoughts, Echo PAS or Sthil Kombi? Also, for the attachments in the video what size power head do you recommend?
Lol, love the end with the hedger on about 8 extensions. I'd been wondering if it's possible to use a second extension pole, I guess your vid answers the question. Thanks!
Can the kombi 111r or the battery 135r handle 2 extensions + the hedge trimmer or chainsaw? Does it have enough power? Or should I buy the 131r?? Thanks!!!! :)
I have the Sthil FS 91R since 2017. Have earned soooo much money. I have weed eater, hedger, and chainsaw attachment.
@keith how often do sharpen your hedge clippers
Is that something that has to be done at the dealer or do just replace the blades
May i ask the one you are using what is the total length of the your trimmer with all that extensions ..
I've got the echo and yeah, it's rough on your shoulders. I'm going to see if they make carbon fiber extensions like stihl. I don't know how you hold up that thing with 3 extensions on it, you're a beast!
Good tips man, just craigslisted one about bran damn new for 350 and was wondering about about the extension for the saw. The hedge trimmer is already heavy but that looks useful occasionally, have to get one of those lighter ones. And that tip at the end about turning 10k into a million, cool, though the best way to make a million, start with 2 million.
Laughed my socks off -so relevant 👍🤣
Hey, any idea why a new carbon extension isn't engaging properly on my Stihl KMA 130 r battery Kombi? It's pushed all the way in. Is just rubbing and only half biting the mechanism, sounding very unhealthy
My first one did the same thing. After lots of time spent pulling it down to bits I discovered the plastic inner sheath was cut too long, meaning the female connection side sat too low in the bracket and couldn't engage properly. I simply cut it down to the size of my newest one (which was about 10mm off) and hey presto
The 1 meter carbon fibre extension pole doesn’t really fit my KM94RC properly. Even after greasing, its a two man job to get it to connect and the same to disconnect.
Maybe it will loosen over time but its actually ridiculously tight. Did you have this problem ?
Sometimes u have to turn the powerhead on, press the trigger for it to run a second, then u can put the extension on…
There are times I have to press the trigger twice. It moves the things inside so that it can align right and u can wiggle the extension on…
I have this set and it's great. Though I never use more than one extension - I use a tripod ladder to reach instead.
There's a good reason arbourists plan and leave an escape route out when felling. On a ladder you lock yourself in and essentially say "this is it and I'm not moving from here no matter what". When the branch etc decides to head straight for you all you can do it brace for the impending impact. Please, don't trim trees using a ladder
One extension and the string trimmer head back on and you can trim up ditches without getting soaked!
Hey man great video, awesome vibe! You made landscaping sound fun 😂
Bought one this year, trimmer edged and swivel head hedger...km130 powerhead. Thing is well worth it. It is pricey. Salesman told me if it's for professional use it's warranty is 90 days. If for homeowner use its 3 years so keep that in mind haha
Sweck Enterprises LLC. In the owners manual it said one year. That dealer is a con artist in my opinion.
PT SUTPHIN maybe it was 1 year...i just remember it was less if you bought it under a contracting name vs. Homeowner
Yea, I've only seen the non-professionals (homeowners) mess with the kombi
It seems to me with more extensions means less power right?
Do you know if you can use the Echo bed redefiner on the Stihl edger attachment? These attachments are ridiculously expensive and it would be great if I can just bolt on the better Echo blade to define beds when needed.
The “wingnuts on the spindle” part is different for echos and stihl
But you could switch them out so everthing is universal. We use echo power heads and stihl attachments.
I only went through the trouble because i was already doing work on the parts and had brand new echo power heads. Our stihl one has been beating to death
The km 91r has the power for sure.. i bought my brand new and the head stop driving or bogging how ever u call it idk what is wrong with it.. It work fine sometimes and sometimes it dont trim :(...
I love my kombi system! I've tried the echo pas system to compare it to stihl and hated it. Echo you have to push a pin through the shaft and then tighten it. It sucked! I'm sticking with my Stihl kombi!
Got the same tools, just love them !
Bro I was just crawling around looking for that nut about an hour ago lmao. Never heard a truer statement.
It’s a great mystery to me how he joins these together. The extensions that I have with my Kombi are male on both ends. What am I missing? Thanks for whoever can clear this up.
Same here I’m just gonna fabricate some couplers
Thank you, can I use it the extensions on my weed eater? Man this is Florida, everybody has damn water and moccasins.
Love my kombi man. It is a real money maker.
Just bought the KM 131R Kombi with pole saw and adjustable hedge trimmer. Sweet set up but heavy. 900 friggen bucks. I'm almost shat myself.
Hey guys.will the power head fit a sthil fs 110r drive shaft?i have a old sthil fs 110r weedeater ,wanted to put the whole shaft on one,use it as a string trimmer
hey ive got a question haha ive got a used stihl pole pruner for the kombi but it doesnt have a shaft on it just the chainsaw end can i use one of my spare kombi extentions i have 2 of them instead of getting a new shaft? any help would be awesome
You put a grease fitting in place of the screw? What grease are you using with it?
+Chris Vandergriff yes. Just gearlube
Had one of those pins in the drive shaft on the motor unit. Cost £50 for labour and a new drive shaft
My wing nut pin things inside the power head shaft came off with in the first month or two of owning the km unit. That's the only disappointing thing. I have no reason to install other ones in there because i know the will just fall out again. When using the string trimmer head I just rotate it by hand until it lines up and yes, its a pain in the ass. I was using my brush cutter to grind down some sticks in a pile running it rather hard and the plastic sleeve melted so i had to order a few sleeves. Pro's and cons to everything. I'm a professional with too much shit in my truck and the KM saves me a lot of space.
Excellent demonstration buddy...
Great advice ....thanks!
You can glue the Tommy screw nut into its seat and the bolt in the handle to prevent loss.
Loctite works wonders on that nut. The blue tube.
Ha, man you should try a ladder
They suck have had two shafts and one hole unit replaced. Have 2 carbon fiber extension . Now have to get another shaft and bearing is bad. Be careful how much you wiggle that extension the pot metal wear the plastic collar goes will break and have to replace the whole thing. Cut alot of limbs. Head unit and tool no issues extension poles suck have to fix all the time.
Thanks for the advice mate jimmy Aust
Damn Keith ..my shoulders hurt just watching you shape that tree..I use to have a very large 18-24' extension for my power washing services..Then I worked smarter..from the ground with no ext..Thanks for the video..
What brand is the non-Stihl, lighter weight, more expensive extension? Thanks for the video, extremely helpful and hilarious!!
Anyone know the answer to this question?
They are also made by stihl
Nice man. I also lost alot of tommy nuts 😂
''Strong word of advise'' Don't buy the carbon lightweight extension as it will break even with very light use, i went through 2 in a few days and the dealer told me that most customers were having the same problem and they had quit trying to selling them. I was use only using 1 extension and i'm extremely carefully with my equipment, when i was trimmer a light beach hedge upwards it spilt open twice.
Sthil o echo?
Yes I love my kombi.
more info and the last clip investing
Sounds good. Didn't know about the lighter shit.
Call echo. Make a backpack blower 5 pounds.
God damn back . 202 days straight working. Arizona don't visit. I see people killing shurbs trees .
I just bought the carbon fibre one at my local dealer it was £109 because I bought a new mower a few months back they gave me £60 off so got it for £40 haha
What about the echo pas 280 what do you think about that machine?
+psycodude12 its beautiful
Save your shoulders and invest in an aluminum tripod ladder for about $300. I used to have the whole kombi setup and hated it because it's so heavy, you can use a regular Stihl trimmer and just connect the different gearbox attachments 👍🏼
acfuller86 until you have an employee fall off a ladder and claim on insurance lol
acfuller86 he has one he has posted videos on it with the kombi out.
Sweck Enterprises LLC. The tripod ladder I use is so sturdy and versatile it's nearly impossible to fall off of- you're more likely to bang into a window or house waving that 20 foot pole around
Jason B 🤣👍🏼
true, but the gearbox head attachments arn't nearly as easy to get on and off and there arn't as many attachments. Also dealers don't really stock the gearbox attachments. The weight is only a little more, 0.2lbs for the 131.
Hello kalfas. Many regards from Greece.
I got the same shit.. worth every damn penny....
Can you run two extensions with the saw? I was going to try it with a echo pas 2620
Go for it haha
@@keith-kalfas have you ran 2 on yours ?
Oh yea. All day. I've done 3. It's insane.
@@keith-kalfas . Thanks Keith, I'm going to go ahead and buy two extensions then .
This video is a masterpiece bro haha
Anthony The Window Cleaning Guy Boss Mode
Keep up the hard work
Thanks!!
Welcome!
Stihl needs to improve the "tommy screw" situation. I've had several of these and they all end up wearing out. Bad design in my opinion
My damn chain saw attachment leaks soooooo much oil. I wrap it in a bag, Love my articulating hedge trimmers.
Great info. Thanks
Ha ha ha dam!!! You go Keith.🤙
Would a fs 110r tube,shaft fit on the power head?
No
whos the guy at the end you should interview him
+Scott Oswald Steve Shinholser
Whats the handlebar for
Bro, howcome you ain't get on top of a ladder? On a 12ft ladder, It would make trimming that tree so much easier to get better shape and accuracy.
Splines
Tommy screws is junk. I keep like 5 in the truck
There's a worldwide shortage of the hedge trimmer bit.
Here in California there is!
No have any in Australia
Matthew Laity the attachment and the long reach machine. Can't get them in uk till September
ever hear of a Google search?
Jason B hahaha your a funny guy bro I'm talking retailers man the local shop. I have all the tools so I ain't tripping I don't need an excuse. 😂💪
the echo pas is so much lighter and stronger and the tommy screws dont fall out
i have a chainsaw attachment with 12'' and 16'' bars
Does anybody have tips or videos how to service/grease those extensions ?
+Le French Gardener haha yes!
Checking to see the review as I’m planning to buy one......2:21 nsfw
Yes they're awesome
#KKEVERYDAY
I got the whole setup for $700
+Bill Dauterive damn homie. That's a good deal
and stretch you're body before using a kombi!
they are well worth it but not for the frail. my km90 with a light weight ryobi extension and hedge trimmer woops my ass
Just don't touch electrical wires..
Good point! And some of those high voltage wires you don't even need to actually touch them - just get close enough and the juice will jump the gap all by itself. The OSHA website section called "Fatal Facts" used to have examples..
Where the hell is your helmet?
This guy tells people common knowledge but people are too stupid to not already know.
First!
damnit lol
