STIHL MB-KM Brushcutter KombiTool for Long, Tough Grass
The STIHL MB-KM is a metal-blade brushcutter attachment for the STIHL KombiSystem. It is supplied with a 230 mm GrassCut 230-2 blade and is designed for mowing long, tough grass, heavy weeds and rough vegetation in open areas where a standard nylon-line trimmer may not be sufficient.
The MB-KM connects to a suitable STIHL KombiEngine through the KombiSystem quick-release coupling. This allows you to use one power unit with multiple attachments and change between garden maintenance tasks without buying a separate engine for every tool.
Please note: this is a KombiTool attachment and is not supplied with an engine or cordless power unit.
Key Features of the STIHL MB-KM
- GrassCut 230-2 metal blade: Designed for efficiently mowing heavy grass, tough weeds and long, dry vegetation.
- 230 mm cutting diameter: Provides a powerful cutting action for demanding mowing work in open areas.
- STIHL KombiSystem attachment: Connects quickly to a suitable KombiEngine using the tool-free coupling system.
- Ideal for rough ground: A practical choice for overgrown gardens, verges, field edges, paddock margins and infrequently maintained grass.
- Lightweight attachment: Weighs approximately 1.2 kg without the power unit.
- Genuine STIHL KombiTool: Manufactured for dependable compatibility and performance within the STIHL KombiSystem.
What Is the STIHL MB-KM Designed to Cut?
The MB-KM is best used for mowing open sections of vegetation, including:
- Long and tough grass
- Heavy weeds
- Dry grass and reeds
- Rough or infrequently maintained areas
- Overgrown verges and field edges
- Large garden areas where nylon line wears too quickly
Because the attachment uses a rigid metal blade, it is not intended for close trimming around fences, walls, trees, kerbs, edging stones or other hard obstacles.
STIHL MB-KM or FS-KM: Which Attachment Do I Need?
| Feature | STIHL MB-KM | STIHL FS-KM |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting system | GrassCut 230-2 metal blade | AutoCut nylon-line mowing head |
| Best suited to | Long, tough grass and heavy weeds | Regular grass trimming and lighter weeds |
| Working area | Open areas and rough ground | Edges, paths, walls, fences and obstacles |
| Main advantage | Stronger cutting performance in dense vegetation | Greater control for general trimming work |
Choose the MB-KM when you need a metal blade for heavier vegetation. For routine trimming around lawn edges and obstacles, consider the STIHL FS-KM strimmer attachment.
STIHL MB-KM Compatibility
The STIHL MB-KM is suitable for STIHL KombiEngines and connects through the standard KombiSystem coupling. Compatible petrol power units include the STIHL KM 56 RC-E and the more powerful STIHL KM 94 R-CE.
