STIHL launches high-performance Kombi machine

STIHL has launched the powerful, battery-operated KMA 140 R as part of its highly versatile KombiSystem. Replacing the popular KMA 135 R, the new machine offers professional landscapers a flexible and efficient solution for a range of demanding outdoor applications, eliminating the downtime caused by switching between multiple tools.

STIHL launches high-performance Kombi machine

With a power output of 1.0. kW and a large mowing diameter, the KMA 140 R offers a robust performance alongside maximum user comfort, weighing in at just 3.3KG (exc. battery).

Compatible with a range of STIHL attachments, including brushcutter, hedge trimmer, blower, edger, sweeping brush, and pole pruner, the machine provides professional landscaping teams an accessible route to battery power if they already have Kombi attachments they previously used with a petrol KombiMotor.

Developed to improve user experience, STIHL’s Kombi machine boasts a new loop handle with quick release functionality for simple manoeuvrability and comfort during operation. In addition, new ergonomic control handles provide separate buttons for power activation and three speed levels for ease of use. What’s more, the KMA 140 R’s clear LED display supports clear and easy tool monitoring whilst on the job.

The KMA 140 R is designed to support integration with STIHL’s Connected system, a digital fleet management solution that helps professionals keep track of their tools, servicing schedules, and machine use. To further support professionals, the tool’s splash-proof design makes it ideal for use in all weather conditions.

The KMA 140 R is recommended for use with STIHL’s AP 300 S battery.

The new design arrives as STIHL celebrates its 100th anniversary. Since 1926, STIHL has defined the global standard for battery and petrol-powered forestry, landscaping, and residential gardening equipment for professional and domestic users.

AS-Motor Electric – Now also available with the Stihl Powerhead

From the coming 2027 season, selected AS-Motor machines will be available with the Stihl Powerhead. This will allow users to choose between two established battery systems in future and integrate AS-Motor machines even more easily into their existing fleets of equipment.

Users have the batteries – AS-Motor has the professional machines

Choosing a battery system is a long-term investment. Today’s professional users expect not only high-performance machines, but also the ability to use batteries across as many applications as possible.

With the Stihl Powerhead, AS-Motor is expanding its battery portfolio and giving users of the widely used Stihl battery system access to selected specialist machines for professional landscape maintenance. Existing batteries can continue to be used, eliminating the need for additional investment in a separate battery system.

The new solution also opens up additional opportunities for specialist retailers. Many specialist retailers stock both the AS-Motor and Stihl brands. These retailers have relevant experience with the battery system. The new
AS-Motor models can therefore be easily integrated into existing product ranges. At the same time, end customers benefit from a solution that fits seamlessly into their existing equipment fleets.

The new Powerhead variant specifically complements AS-Motor’s existing battery range by offering a further choice. Not every user works with the same battery system or has the same requirements. This allows customers to choose the solution that best suits their fleet of machines and their workflows.

The new Stihl Allpro battery system

The new Stihl Allpro battery system forms the basis of the new powerhead, which delivers a peak power output of 2950 watts. This new generation of batteries has been specially developed for professional applications and, thanks to modern tabless cell technology, offers significantly higher power output across the entire charge range. This ensures that consistently high power is available, even as the charge level drops, particularly during power-intensive tasks.

At the same time, the new powerheads are fully compatible with the batteries from the previous Stihl AP system. Users can therefore utilise both the new Allpro batteries and their existing AP batteries, continuing to make full use of their existing investments without any restrictions.

With charging times of just nine minutes to 80 per cent battery capacity (using a fast charger), more than 3,000 charge cycles and IPX5 certification for professional outdoor use, the Allpro system meets the requirements of service providers, local authorities and landscape maintenance professionals. Its high performance, short charging times and long service life make the system an attractive solution for continuous professional use.

The Stihl battery ecosystem already comprises around 80 tools, including hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaws and other professional applications. The new AS-Motor machines expand this range of applications to include solutions for professional weed control and lawn care. For users, this means a single battery system for even more applications in day-to-day use.

The AS-Motor specialists powered by Stihl

Three AS-Motor Electric models featuring the Stihl Powerhead will be available for the new 2027 season: the two weed brush models, the AS 30 E-WeedHex AP and AS 60 E-WeedHex AP, and the professional mulching lawnmower, the AS 510 E-ProClip A AP.

AS 30 E-WeedHex AP

The AS 30 E-WeedHex AP is the compact solution for professional weed removal on pavements, paved areas and in confined spaces. Its electric drive combines high torque with exceptionally quiet operation, produces no exhaust emissions and ensures comfortable handling. This makes the machine ideal for use in noise-sensitive environments such as residential estates, hospitals, care homes or nurseries. Thanks to its compact design and high manoeuvrability, it really comes into its own on uneven surfaces, cobblestones and along walls, kerbs and edges.

AS 60 E-WeedHex AP

The AS 60 E-WeedHex AP has been developed for the efficient removal of weeds over larger areas and is aimed in particular at municipal works departments, local authorities and professional service providers. Mechanical weed control is carried out entirely without chemicals and delivers immediately visible results. Thanks to its compact design and balanced weight distribution, the machine can be used safely and comfortably even in confined areas of public spaces. At the same time, users benefit from high area coverage and the advantages of modern battery technology: emission-free operation, low noise levels, minimal maintenance requirements and high torque, available at the touch of a button.

AS 510 E-ProClip A AP

The AS 510 E-ProClip A AP professional mulching lawnmower combines the robust construction of the tried-and-tested ProClip series with the benefits of modern battery technology. With a cutting width of 51 centimetres, the machine achieves a clean cut and excellent mulching results even under demanding conditions. The sturdy steel mulching bell, the triple-bearing crankshaft and the high traction ensure reliability and durability in daily professional use. At the same time, users benefit from particularly quiet and low-vibration operation, reduced maintenance requirements and the low running costs of an electric drive.

The new AS-Motor models powered by Stihl will be available from the 2027 season.
