Feedback on stihls all in one tool

[familytree]

I was wondering if any of you guys had any feedback on stihls "all in one" hedge trimmer, weed wacker, power prunner things. From what I can gather, I buy a motor and I can attach whatever head I need for the job.

I'm currently in the market for a nice set of longer hedge trimmers and I was wondering if this would fit the bill or if it's too good to be true

Seeing that Boston bull is busy with the twins, I'm interested to see how has used this thing

Thanks for your time and feedback.

I have had one for a few years and it has worked very well! I have the hedge trimmer, power broom, weed wacker and stick chainsaw attachments as well as the 3 foot extension. I only had a little trouble with it but that was self inflicted. when it was new and I was using it as a saw from the bucket truck I handed it down engine first and it came apart dropping onto the ground and messed up the gas tank. Other that I replaced the wing nut with a bolt and lock washer/nut because I couldnt seem to keep it tight enough with out stripping the threads. This is the part that connects the tool with the power head. As far as the hedge trimmer, it makes very short work of large hedges. I use the power broom the most and it is awesome. it is great for cleaning up stump grindings and wood chips. it will even sweep up 2B gravel. The four stroke engine has so much power. I also bought the roto tiller attachment, it is ok for weeding a bed with loose soil but doesnt have any weight behind it. it has alot of attachments you can get. Over all a great tool.

I have the KM130 R, and am very pleased.
I just bought the blower atachment and it is awsome, it looks like it just fell off the wing of a jumbo jet, but realy does the business.
It has the same power output as a BR 550 backpack blower.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm looking into the larger 130, figure if I'm spending money I mine as well go all out. Any idea on where to get one for a cheaper rate, they are asking around 400 for the head alone around these parts, plus 250 for the hedgers. A little rough price wise but it will pay for itself in the next week or two. I have a ton of trimming lined up.

How strong is the power prunner? What is it's max reach after extender attachment?

We have one, with the string trimmer, brush cutter, hedge trimmer, and chain saw attachments. Never had ANY problem with it. We don't use it much though as we don't do much weedwacking kinda stuff, have hand held hedge trimmers, and a stihl power pruner. I borrowed it with the brush cutter attachment to wack some ivy at my house and hit an old hoe head, it chunked a piece of the hoe head off and it shot right through my brand new leather gloves and into my knuckle. Had to go to the ER to get it out, my normal doctor couldn't get it out, I could hardly find the hole in the glove. It's seems to have plenty of power
