Stihl four mix

[RPA]

I can't seem to get hold of the carbon fibre pole extensions yet. Anyone seen those?

 

Apparently its a stihl thing according to local dealer. There was a delay on production so they aint got enough to go round due to back orders.

 

Not my explanation but my dealers

[Rupe]

Sounds like the standard stihl oil will be fine for now then...

spoke to my mate today who has the system i mentioned, hes using standard stihl oil

[Arborlord]

The standard oil is ok but will not burn as clean as the better oils.

 

Just means it will coke up more and quicker reducing overall power over time.

 

Also reducing efficiency. But its a small difference.

running my 130 combi on aspen along with the hs 81 seems ok but im not to convinced the 4 mix engines are all that....it ran fine untill i switched to aspen and was only 6 months old just come back from a dealer service and it seems spot on again but i was giving me quite a bit of trouble.

any one tryed the blower attachment for the system?

[Rupe]

Yeah that blower looks like a handy way to have a spare blower, if its any good?

 

But what about the power sweep? Sureley thats rubbish?

[Steve Bullman]

it probably has its place like everything else

[Rupe]

The best place for some stuff is in the dealers showroom!

dealer told me that blower was as powerfull as a back pack ...hmmmm ???

[Rupe]

hmmmmm in deed! Surely that woudl depend on waht power unit its run on? Thats why there is no info in the catalogue.

 

If it is good then I would get one, it can go with the hedge trimmer combi tool for hedge jobs and it will fit in my roof box. I love my back pack blower but its a nuisance to carry round just for my one hour scive at the end of the day!
