Recently picked up a used KM56 RC for $350 (would have cost closer to $600 for everything i got). The dang thing is like new and couldnt tell a difference between it and one in a showroom. Same with the attachments, guy said the trimmer line was still the same they put on the spool when he bought it. It came woth the blower, straight trimmer, and the edger. I orginally got it just for the blower and was going to sell the rest to get my money back and buy the KM90.
After playing with it for a few days im kind of debating what to do. My main reason for getting it was to add a pole saw for occassional use in the summer for clearing shooting lanes for treestands, and using the blower and trimmer just around the house.
If i sell the edger with the motor i think i can get close to the cost of a new KM 90 And not have to spend much more out of pocket and end up with the blower and trimmer attachments for around $100 total when said and done with. The 56 is clean and runs well, but do i really need that extra little bit of power for the pole saw?
I dont have any experience with one of the 90s but dont have the funds to go up to the KM110/130. I can work on these engines a little bit, but if i buy a new KM90 that means i will have a 4 year warranty along with it as well.
Any help on this situation would be well appreciated.
