Stihl kombi on a backpack

Hi All,In the next month or so, I need to get another hedge trimmer, need a kombi with extension bar for about 4 days solid hedge cutting up and down the ladder. I was going to purchase a km94 with hedge trimmer and extension poll.Has anyone used a backpack one? Thinking it would take the weight of the machine off when using it for solid days and easier going up and down the ladder. Haven't seen many people using them.Would it be a better investment instead of a hand held one? Thinking it would be good as a strimmer Aswell

      Very True! when i did the solid 4 days last year, using a long reach HL100, my arms needed a good rest after!

  • would it not be easer to do it off a platform of some type, its not really a good idea swinging a hedge cutter around when you are on top of a ladder as you need both hands on the machine

      I tried using a platform before with adjustable legs, much preferred using a ladder If I'm honest. If i needed to go higher or lower i just took a step, compared with having to get off the platform and adjusting the legs and then back up. Always have someone holding the ladder of course!
