Do Stihl Kombi attachments fit Echo PAS2620?

Posted by Trevor Stephens on February 4, 2020 at 11:01am in Machinery

Hi all,

Any advice on the following greatly received, thankyou in advance.

We have been using Stihl Kombi KM131R motors hooked up to the Stihl Kombi attachements.

Having had one of the tired Stihl motors recently give up with valve & piston failure it's uneconomical to repair I am wondering whether to replace with an Echo PAS 2620. 

The reasoning is to reduce costs and phase in non Stihl equipment.

I am led to believe Echo PAS2620 motor will fit the Stihl Kombi attachments??? If so has anyone used this combination successfully? 

Thanks

Trevor

    I wouldn't have thought so. I don't know about at the engine end, but certainly at the attachment end the drive shaft has a different spline pattern.

    I can't help you with the attachment crossover, although I'd be very surprised if they fit.  I'm intending to replace my Stihl Kombi with the newer cordless version. I'll keep the petrol as a back up. I know a few complain that Stihl tools are not what they used to be but I've simply got too many of them (attachments, parts, spares etc.),  to consider changing!

      Tony, I had wondered if this would be the prompt to move to the Stihl cordless world, maybe start off with the new elec motor and basic batteries then gradually increase battery stock if all goes well.

    Echo have the wrong diameter shaft.  I've tried.

     

    Titan multitool / Stihl are compatible (I use cheap titan polesaw accessory £20 ebay on my stihl 94 works perfectly well)

      Thanks Tim, I did suspect it wouldn't be that easy!
