Just wanted to mention I have (almost) finished another long season of beating the piss out of my Stihl Kombi KM130. Thanks to D'animal's suggestion I bought this a few years ago. It now has a blower, hedge trimmer, straight shaft mowing head, straight shaft bed redefiner and a long (heavy) extension.
I run virtually every tool every week around the farm house dealing with weeds that frighten small children and they all get beat up (particularly the bed "redefiner" given the hard soil I have) and I just went over to blow the gutters on my mother's house the past weekend .. started first pull ... and managed the gutters full of stuck wet leaves in record time. GREAT machine and because it breaks down into two small pieces --- VERY portable in the average car trunk. It is a winner!
