    They don't offer the gearbox version of the attachments anymore? Not a "quick" system like the Kombis are but it's still just 4 screws and about 10 minutes to change over. Tiller, pole saw, hedge trimmer, others were all available.

    I got both in 130 motors (biggest motor ... at that time were 90 110 130 iirc) a solid and a split... Dad bought solid for father's day 4 years ago... I got split shafts combination unit couple weeks later ... split shafts is used 10x than solid put blade on solid

    IMO that engine is way overkill for grass! loves a 10 inch saw blade for sumac and other brush... upto 2 inch diameter trees!

    not trying to be negative Unicorn1 ... great tool.. just my opinion when going out to do work real easy to grab attachments... little tiller is awesome for fixing ruts in lawn...

    as I type this.. my split shafts out taking care of neighbors (brother came and got it) solid shafts in garage..
