You did say how many hours (day) it can go on those 4 batteries but that doesnt tell me much. More of a useful information would be the area it can handle.
Thanks for the maintenance tip. The Stihl dealer says these are sealed & non-serviceable. Guess is they want to sell more trimmers. Even a sealed unit that doesn't leak will break- grease is subject to heat & shearing ( parts rubbing on each other) causes the grease to dry out. If the dealer had told me before purchase the gear unit was sealed, I would have bought one that wasn't sealed. Dealer will also tell you that replacing the gears cost nearly what the machine cost to begin with.
2 battery become too hot, need to paralel connection. I connect 2 red wires and 1white together (from switch), and now accu not so loaded, not hot, an I can do more work, no need switch 1 or 2 pair..
well done to you for fixing your problem. I didt have any problem with hot batteries, only thing that i have complain is that they dont last very long not even 6amp
You are absolutely wright. That is exactly what I do. I use very small battery operated makita lawn mover for my own garden and its absolutely brilliant. This mover is obviously for bigger lawns and usury heavy overgrown
Thank You for the video. After 20 years (yes... twenty-btw still works) I bought a second one FS 55, I was shocked that the greasing point is missing. Seller told me it is maintenance free.....!!! The old one I greased 1-2 x per year, never NEVER failed the gearbox. Great idea the greasing adapter, like it.
be very carefull. i have broke the original and replace it with better one for easy usage in the future. make sure you have bright size tool to undo it as its really tight
its not cannon gun its the archer one, but not standard one its the more expensive version and fluid is really cheap eBay purchase. it does really good job at making foam but it does not clean itself, you need to work it out on a car
Translated with Google translate, sorry for any mistakes. Do these steel wheels run in snow? And can you install a snow plow? Because as far as I know, there is no such plow for it.
yes, i think steel wheels will go in snow no problem, even in ice. i dont know about snow plow, you would probably need to make one, but machine is so powerful that it would work no problem
Good idea. Just bought one and I knew the gearbox needed greasing but I love the useage of the nozzle to reach the correct point. Thank ou and I wish you well.
Brilliant! Kudos to you for thinking to post this! No Kudos to Stihl and Echo that decided they could show they don’t really give a damn about making products that are easy to maintain😡
thanks for the review. I don't like the plastic container: it looks very cheap and it's not handy to use as well with that lid: you need one hand to open it (and keep it open) and the other hand to get the grass out... that could be better (especially it's not cheap).
Well I have used it for 2 years now and I have other mover with soft collection box to compere. I have to say I like it. Its most definitely not cheap. Very solid good quality build. Soft one after a while have more wear do it won't last as long as this. Plus when grass is wet this one in so much better. But you wright to empty it its a bit less handy
Hallo Toronto. So nice to hear from you! This model does not leave stripes. There is model with roller witch leave very nice stripes and it has better engine
solidcollector and holds more then other mowers dont other brands walk behinds holds less and collectors can rip wich stihl made smart idea design@@mk15handyman
Got mine 2 days ago, used 4 refills and I like it a lot. My 10+ year old plunger-pump one blew up after pumping "one last pump". (large boom and bits up to 5+ metres away!!!) Battery did not drop at all in the time I used so battery life will not be an issue. 1 small gripe... hard/impossible to get the last dregs out. (1/2 a litre??) Very quiet. Also used with water for wetting down new concrete and settling dust. Very good dual control from mist... to stream and everything in between. 9.5/10 from me.
