Description:

When you are on the job, which do you value more: power or versatility? If you answered “both,” then take a look at the KM 131 R KombiMotor™. This multi-tasking tool is the most powerful in the STIHL® KombiSystem™ family and features a low exhaust emission engine, delivering 30% longer run times compared to previous models. It’s compatible with over a dozen KombiSystem™ attachments, giving you incredible utility in a fraction of the trailer space compared to stand-alone tools. The KM 131 R is also easy to operate, featuring a semi-automatic choke lever, one-touch stop switch, anti-vibration system, and a specially designed quick-release coupling system for easy switching between attachments. The only thing easier than using the KM 131 R is leaving your older, bulkier power tools behind.

The STIHL® KombiSystem™ is a versatile landscaping system that includes a powerful STIHL® KombiMotor™ and a full line of attachments. Together, they give landscaping professionals the ability to tackle a tremendous range of outdoor tasks without loading the trailer with a pile of tools. Attachments include trimmers, blowers, hedge trimmers, edgers, pruners, cultivators, and more. Each attachment slides into the KombiMotor™ effortlessly and is secured via a quick-release coupling system, saving you time as well as trailer space.

NOTE: STIHL® KombiMotors™ and STIHL® KombiSystem™ attachments are sold separately.

Features:

• Multi-Function Control Handle – Easy access to all controls on one comfortable handle makes it easier to complete tasks without the operator’s hand leaving the handle.

• Quick-Release Coupling – This system makes switching between KombiSystem™ attachments easy. It also allows the equipment to be split into two parts for convenient transport and storage, then quickly reassembled without tools.
• Split Shaft – Combined with the quick-release coupling, the split shaft design enables effortless attachment changes, enhancing the KombiSystem’s versatility and ease of transport and storage.
• Electronic Ignition Module – Provides reliable starting and is fully enclosed to protect against moisture and debris, ensuring longer service life.
