- Stihl Kombisystem Blower - Gimmick or Good Tool?
When we purchased our property a few years ago, it needed a lot of cleaning up. Not having tools to do the work with I invested in a Stihl Kombisystem Power Head and a couple of attachments. Being pleased with them so far, I decided to buy the Blower attachment for the system to try it out.
Is this thing a good tool or is it just a gimmick? Let's find out.

I have used the non backpack Stihl Blower for years and it has worked great (86 C-E). However, after watching your video - this Kombi Blower really moves some leaves. Since Craftsman has decided to vacate the premises - I have been upgrading to other more reliable brands. Stihl has been the main one. I have already started purchasing the Kombi units. The Weedwacker and the Edger - debating on which motor - after your video, your right - no need in messing around with low power. Go for the top. As far as that blower - wow - again - if not for this video - I would have bypass it. Not now - I need to move some leaves in the fall - it is more powerful than my Stihl Blower. Thank you for such a great presentation .

Great review and answers all the questions I had. Thanks for taking rhe time to do it. Take care over there...from the UK
Great video. Just bought the KM 131 R and all the info I can get on the attachments is useful. Thank you.
I started with a KM110 back in 2005 which was the biggest (and only) power head at the time. I think around 2012, Stihl came out with the KM130R and I bought that one also. I haven't had any issues with either unit. I have the BG-KM blower and it works very well on either power head. It is more balanced than my Stihl SH-85 which is a handheld blower-vac. I would recommend that you buy the largest power head that you can afford. The KM130 is a big improvement when running the power sweep attachment. Expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Really appreciate your honest review. I use the Kombi system but wondered about the blower. The client I do a lot of work for has a whole host of Stihl equipment including an awesome Stihl back back pack blower but I don't have the budget for that so am going with this. Thank you (Alan from the UK)
I have the sthil power head , kombi hedge trimmer, pole saw, also the blower & wipper snipper. Awesome tool to get the job done.
Thanks for the review. I’ve had the 131 for a few years. It’s a beast. I noticed it’s was very hard to pull the starter rope , so much so that it would yank out of my hand. That’s when one of my mechanic friends told me the clutch was stuck open. When I was pulling it, it was also turning over the attachment too. Ended up replacing clutch and adjusting valves. Back to normal now
I run it on my kma 130r and never have that issue but then again my pull start is insert power cord here 😁
Great idea and handy on the homestead. You always need tools that make the job a bit easier, working smarter and not harder. Congrats on new subs!
Absolutely!
Four acres here, 50/50 lawn and jungle here in Michigan... Love the blower attachment, using the 111R head. Great for blowing off the driveway and walks, even snow. For the big leaf blowing jobs, I picked up the Echo Back Pack Blower from Home Depot, much easier for long periods when clearing the yard.
I absolutely love my combi unit, I went for the Husqvarna 535LK, it was the most powerful on the market at the time, at 2.2HP!
I have the kombi with the pole saw, trimmer and edger and it’s been great. It’s not a chainsaw but any means but does what it’s intended to do very well. Handy indeed. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
Yeah I just purchased the sthil hedge trimmer wipper snipper pole saw. Thinking I might get this blower attachment aswel. I'm happy with it
@@theblade66 if you get the speedfeed 450 head on the Stihl, your life will be much more pleasant.
@@1d1hamby yeah cool thanks for that, also can get different attachments for it . Skies the limit I love the stihl stuff
That looks like a great way to have various implements in one package!!
I was impressed with the quality. Yes, great way to have multiple tools without buying multiple engines to maintain.
I am in almost your same exact situation. Chose the Komi system for the same reasons. Seemed better than maintaining a bunch of engines and overall less expensive. I too, when first picking up the blower at the dealer, thought this thing can’t be a serious blower. The dealer assured me it was legit. Like you said, it may not replace a high powered backpack blower, but this thing really works. I use the KM130 head, which is the predecessor to the KM131.
iv been running a little toro weed eater for almost 20 years. on a small city yard. when we move next year im def going with the kombi system. i love their saws. ms362/ms660
I just bought 20 acres of raw land. My first two purchases - a Kubota compact tractor and the Stihl KM131R Kombi System. Love the power!
Congrats on the land. I love the system. Lots of options without maintaining a bunch of motors.
I didn’t think the blower would be one of the attachments I would want, since I have a Stihl SH86 blower/mulched/vac. But it’s a pain to convert back and forth from blowing leaves to sucking them up. I think I’ll get the Kombi blower so my wife and I can tag team on the job! I’m also considering either the broom or the sweeper for light snow. For most light, powdery snow the blower does a great job.
I needed this info, thank you!! Great cameo by the dog, too!!
Great tool with multiple uses. I sure need to get one for my new farm and farm house in progress.
You always share helpful informations, I have learnt a lot from you.
Keep up the good work sir.
Thanks, withh love from Nigeria West Africa.
Thank you! Hope we are helping others. Thanks for watching.
@@SheratonParkFarms You are welcome sir.
Yes I am sharing with others at every opportunity available.
Keep up the good work.
Have you got one yet?
KM 94 RC is the model you want, just bought one with edger attachment and I can't stop smiling lol.
The power and quality is just incredible 👍
I've just bought my second set after ten years or so of the original- KM-94 power head, blower, line trimer, adjustable angle hedge trimmer, pole saw, edger, and extension. I stayed with the 2 Mix KM 94 power head because it light but has adequate power to run these tools and is a stratified combustion 2 stroke- simple, reliable, and economical- never had a spot of bother with mine maintaining five residential properties over that time. Those 4 Mixes don't have the best reliability reputation from the research that I had done. The only weakness imo is the attachment is a clamp with a plastic key which can chop out over time. On that front I prefer the Husqi and Echo attachment design with the metal pawl. Also, disappointingly, the new hedge trimmer is shorter than the old one and the Husqi equivalent, which means less efficient. I've read that the gearboxes in them blow which may be the reason. I'd have preferred they'd beefed up the gearbox than reduced the potential load on them. And agreed, that blower is excellent.
Thanks for sharing your experience using the big power head. I have the KM 56, which is the smallest. I read on Stihl's web site that the blower will go from 121-157 Mph depending on the KombiMotor and nozzle selected. (Didn't know there were nozzles, but ok.) Only thing that bothered me with the whole thing was that Stihl didn't even list the KM 56 motor on their web site from the list of motors. (you had to dig in the search engine for it). So, who knows what these yahoo's are thinking and if the blower will do 121 with the smallest motor. Again, thanks for sharing with what you have.
I had the same two power heads KM 56 and KM 131, and there is a definite loss of power with the KM 56 when it comes to the Blower attachment and most of the other attachments.
That's a nice leaf blower. Looks like a good investment to have. Like the idea of having multi functions
I think so too! It is a ton of fun to use! I'm like a big kid with it.
@@SheratonParkFarms we could tell you were like a big kid with it.😂😂 but I hate to rake the yard so this blower would be a yes! My last one didn't do anything but stir up a mess.😁
Just bought one … great review
Thank you!
I have the ECHO PAS system. I love it!
Haven’t seen that system. I was pretty skeptical because sometimes “interchangeable” isn’t as good as the dedicated tool. Been pretty impressed. I guess it depends on the maker. Stihl and Echo are traditionally good brands. Hope y’all had a good thanksgiving! Appreciate y’all watching
Same power head to my pole saw
Thank, I am getting one
Does anyone know what the blower hole length is like is it a 1inch hole or 4inch?
I’m thinking about getting this for my kombi I bought one last year cuz stihl had a special if I bought it with any attachment I got the string trimmer piece free
I've been very happy with it.
💯
I have the knapsack version, The FR131T with quite a few attachments including the blower. Absolutely fantastic piece of kit. 👍
Thanks
For some reason Stihl doesn't offer any of the backpack trimmers in the USA. The FR 460 TC-EFM is quite a machine for steep hill clearing.
@@1d1hamby That's a pity. On a similar note Stihl don't offer their engine powered pressure washers over here in The UK. If they did l might be tempted, l have a Stihl electric one, it's good but I'd like one with more flow.
This is a super tool, better than any hand held blower!
Agree. Thanks for watching
With the 131 power head and Blower attachment, you get the same performance as a BR 430 backpack blower.
I have the Ryboi System - definitely not top tier like the Stihl but it gets the job done for my yard. Earlier models were pretty much garbage but this latest power head seems to be doing pretty good. It can handle a tiller attachment as well as blower and the usual suspects for an interchangeable system.
Cool. I've seen those. My barber, of all people, has the same system and LOVES it. I always ask him about it and he gets so wrapped up in talking about it he's ready to go home and do yard work! Funny guy. Thanks for watching.
I've had many of the Ryobi power heads. The only one still working is the electric carded one that hardly ever gets used. The 4 stroke Ryobi power head had the most power, but nothing like the KM 131. Whenever one of the Ryobi attachments broke I replaced it with the Stihl and haven't had a single Stihl attachment wear out. I've been playing with the battery Ryobi power heads and they keep getting better every year.
Wow I’m impressed
Thanks. I really like the tool
.Helpful ...thanks!
Hi I’ve been watching yours and other peoples videos and everyone talks about the Physical side of starting a farming business but I can’t find anything about the legal side Licenses and permits to sell. Could you possibly cover your Experience in a video thank you
I have a plastic bottle with BBs in it taped to a stick I shake it to steer my pigs where I want them to go I wonder if a leaf blower would work better?
😂😂. Great idea! If you try it, let me know how it goes!
A large bowl of slop is more convenient.
Don't know about everyone else but mine works great. Can swap to whatever tool I need and get the job done quickly with one engine.
How do you hang or store your Kombi Attachments in your garage?
I'm thinking of getting one of these, but the battery version since it's right in line on a performance level with the gas version.
They still haven't made a battery version that has the same performance. They have made a couple battery heads that are fine with lower power requirements for the implements like hedge trimmers and light string trimming. You'll definitely notice a loss of power between the KM 131R and either battery units, KMA 130 or 135 with the Blower and pole saw attachments.
a good lawnmower or zero turn will mulch those leafs back into small pieces back into your lawn which would be beneficial for the lawn and those trees you have on your property. That is my opinion. Good video anyway bud.................
Thanks
Yes it's worth it. Stronger than most blowers.
I had the Echo PAS (more like PoS) and the Kombi is superior in every way.
How many psi
I think still connection and design is patented I don't think anybody has anything that it will attach to it I have looked at a couple different things but I could be wrong too.
I gave it. And i luke it a lot.
I mean damn!
God almighty that little blower dont look like its got all that juice! Pushed them leaves like the big boy backpack blower i got for WAY more than 130 bucks.
Shoot, off to JBT i go i reckon!
sssssssssssshooooot... wanted to HEAR the blower....
This video shulda been 3 minutes
Ong forgot what I searched up bro gave us a backstory😭
