I've got all STIHL equipment, but found a good deal on a huskyolesaw attachment that's has only like 3 inches of pole for a short pole saw and would love to have one like that but it want work after inspecting som husky equipment today first hand. I was looking at saw in picture so wasn't sure
 
Several years ago I purchased a Troy-Bilt trimmer and all the attachments at Lowes. I became displeased with the performance of the engine one day when I realized that the reason the brush trimmer wouldn't cut was because the engine was running backwards.

I flew hot, said some choice words about cheap big box store equipment, drove to the nearest JD dealer and purchased a Stihl Combi head. I asked the salesrep if the Troy-Bilt attachments would work on the Stihl. He acted offended and said that the Troy-Bilt attachments would absolutely NOT work on a Stihl. I bought all the Stihl attachments while I was there.

When I got home I tried the Troy-Bilt attachments and they work perfectly on the Stihl. Taking the word of the "expert" cost me a lot of money that day. Sigh.
 
the stihl kombi will power many big box attachments. I use a poulan hedge trimmer on my kombi for tight spots and it works flawlessly. Might get hot but i am using the 130 so it is working hard
