Title: Stihl KM 94 R multi task
Post by: Cut4fun . on August 05, 2015, 02:04:41 pm

Stihl is listening back to 2 strokes.  Could this make me look over the echo 266?   @blsnelling  I know you got you one and put the 4mix to pasture. 

So likes dislikes? 

Anyone know if soild or spring type shaft?  Strong enough to run a power broom and saw head?

I'm loving my new KM94.  It is lighter and has the RPMs of a 2-stroke.  I've not had a chance to use it with my pole saw attachment.  It does great with both the straight trimmer and edger attachments.

The 94 in both KM and FS are a good seller here. Lawn crews are switching over for two reasons. Weight and the throttle dial. KM 94 will run all of the attachments with no issues.

I haven't checked but before the 94 came out there was talk of a hollow drive shaft similar to some 85 and 100 models.
