STIHL's KombiMotors, now feature a simplified starting process that saves time on the job,* while simultaneously combining 14 tools into one.
The KombiMotor allows professionals to cultivate, edge, prune, trim, blow and sweep lawns. With large 710 cc fuel tanks and low-emission engines, this line of multi-task tools provides 30 percent longer run times* than their respective predecessors, meaning more work between refills. The upgraded KombiMotor features a vertical pleated air filter for better filtration, extended service intervals and increased product life.** The line also features one-touch stop and a simplified starting procedure enabled by the semi-automatic choke lever.
“The new additions to the STIHL KombiMotor line offer professionals a way to use one of three motors to power up to 14 hardworking accessories, saving big on fuel and servicing costs,” said Marv Mathwig, product manager at STIHL Inc. “Best of all, the bigger fuel tank that allows them to work for longer periods. Having one motor like this can make yardwork much more efficient.”
The new products include three new KombiMotors: the STIHL KM 91 R, the STIHL KM 111 R and the STIHL KM 131 R.
