The KM 131 and 131 R only diffence is the handles that i can see and therefore the vibration levels
I used two KOMBI 130 for every job including the big brush attachment in snow ! Excellent, robust and never a problem over 2 years until a new employee used neat petrol and not the 4-mix and the piston shot out the top of the plastic housing!
Have two, the 90 and 130.
Both have given little trouble, 90 is used for general strimming, and sometimes the hedge trimmer attachment. 130 is used for hedge trimmer, brushcutter, and when I can afford the chainsaw attachment.
Quite a difference in response, don't like the 130 for lawn edging, it is too much, like an all or nothing response.
Only problem I have had is hot starting in summer, changed the tank breather for a small chainsaw tank breather on forum recommendation, problem has gone away.
cheers guys -- ill get one on order
Could anyone please expand on the changing the tank breather ie what and where it is on the machine, or a link to the parts required. Thanks.
if the tank breather is working as it is designed too, you don't need to fit one from another machine. If its not fuctioning correctly, just replace it with the correct one that is designed for the job. Early 130's had problems with faulty brreathers which resulted in the carb flooding with petrol if the machine was laid down at a certain angle.
Cool, thanks Graham.
What are you using it for? If you're just going to do lawn edges, some light brush cutting and hedge trimming then you dont need a 131. Sharp blades make far more of a difference with the hedge cutter than the power does, if its bogging down either you're going to fast or the blades are blunt.
If you intend to do a lot of polesaw work and big brushcutting jobs with it then I would say you should get a 94 and a 131.
Hi seth -- will be using it for long reach, pole saw and brush predominently
Have two 94 at the moment and loved them but looking to part exchange one for more power - mostly for power brush really but intrested to see the difference on polesaw and long reach
seth -- interestingly enough the shtil rep advised using the long reach with caution with the KM131 due to the fact its technically over powered at almost twice the usual hedge cutter power levels.
Apparently if you hit any obsticles / metal etc etc the power is enough to destroy the hedge cutter teeth and cause some expensive repairs
