i bought a kombi strimmer head for my 90 power unit and thats not got a plug to refill grease they said they taken them out of all the strimmer gearboxs
Recent Stihl strimmer heads have bog standard sealed bearings in. No way to get the grease into them unless you pull the bearing out and pop off the seals. To be fair, they work- no failures in six years with my FS460s.
Hedgecutter heads don't last long without grease though. Are the electric Stihl ones metal gears? Many electric tools have plastic gears which are self lubricating.
The gears are all metal. I'm surprised the strimmer heads don't require greasing........ I imagined.......... obviously wrongly............ the the grease was primarily there to lubricate the gears
There's still grease in it it's just a sealed unit
I picked up a Kombi pick tines attachment recently. No greasing required, its a sealed unit. And this thing does some hard graft! A bit worrying as I grease nearly all my gear regularly and the grease goes somewhere! This affects all of us in this game so we'll see how this development goes.
