Kombi unit:

 

Sthil KM 56 RC-E VS KM 94RC-E

 

Any opinions on which power unit is best as my old one seized?

 

The 56 looks a bit cheap an plasticky..

Depends what you are doing mostly, the 130 is much better on a polesaw or strimming thick grass, the smaller engines are ok for hedge cutting. I wouldn't go below the 90 to be honest ?

94 will do the job fine. The 56 feels like it has zero anti vibes!

Get a 130/131, the 56 is domestic.

The 130 is a 4-mix piece of shit. Nothing but bother.

The 56 got me out of trouble and did 3 years hedgecutting without any issues at all.

It is plasticky like.

When it died I replaced it with the 94 which I'm really happy with.

 

I ran the polesaw head on all of them, but only very occasionally.

 

Never been interested in any other attachments. Cow horns all the way for brushcutting and strimming.

Yes I want to stay clear of 4-mix, not really heard good stuff.

It makes a funny noise true.
But it works well with hedge cutters and pole saw.
