Which kombi hedge cutters?

[Dobson89]

I'm after some kombi hedge cutters, I may get a polesaw for it later on but for now mainly just for hedges. Is it worth spending the extra for the 130r or will the 28cc (forget the model name) be adequate? Thanks

Km94 works well for me, run hedgecutter and chainsaw ends on it. Good value at around the £270 mark

I'd get a stihl combi.. mostly because they can fix it if it needs fixing at some point.

That's if theres a stihl dealer nearby, there is near me!!!..

 

I tend to look at the petrol tank as well, the bigger the better, nothing worse than stopping every ten minutes to fill up..

As to a pole saw, I haven't got one of those but I'd get a standalone one, save wear and tear on the combi..

Is the 130 still 4-mix?

If so I'd avoid it.

The 94 sounds pretty good.

I have got a hl130 and a km130 they are 4 mix i find them good and very powerful. You will need the check the valves though..

Km94 is plenty good enough to power hedge trimmer and polesaw. Avoid the larger power units unless you enjoy faffing with poxy valves.

I find the 94 surprisingly good on fuel, not sure on the tank size but I get alot done per fill

Just bought a KM94 … Been using it with the one metre extension for the tall stuff. Not yet run-in yet but liking it. :thumb up:

 

Picture from yesterdays job. Just used the old HS45 and hand-shears for the low stuff.

Make sure you keep the choke lever spring oiled, if you don't it can be really hard to set the choke.
