You should design retail displays for Stihl. That looks good. Well balanced and pleasing to the eye.

Thats pretty slick. Beats my ghetto Husky “system” in the shed. I love my Husky’s but I’ll admit these are older models back when Husky built some quality stuff. All their new stuff (minus their saws) seem pretty cheaply made.

They'll pretty much leak in any orientation unless the tank is empty.

Thanks for the note, I will have to figure something out for that.
Definitely looks good.

Nicely done, @garagesapien. The family resemblance is clear to the commercial Stihl displays (here at a Rural King in my southeastern Ohio hometown).

Lol - They extended warrantee for 4 years if I bought four premix cans, so total of 8 for both chain saw and power head (not at the same time) . I though it was a good insurance. Can can be stored two years from the manufacture date. I am home owner so these probably will last several years.

I just noticed that your pole saw is in two pieces. Now I need to take a closer look at mine. It sure would make storing it for the winter a lot more convenient. Thanks for the picture, nice work.

those were the attachments recommended for STIHL combi system but should be the same for standalone system?

OK, mine isn't part of the combi system. But I'll take a closer look at it to see if it dis-assembles. Thanks.
I love thé shelf for thé saw and trimmer. Who makes the shelf? Where did you get it?
Ummm…that is a HUSKY display.Nicely done, @garagesapien. The family resemblance is clear to the commercial Stihl displays (here at a Rural King in my southeastern Ohio hometown).
Just giving you grief but we get your point
Out here every single thing in that pic would be chained down or behind a counter. Stealing seems to be how to obtain them these days…unfortunately.

Hah! It is indeed! I gotta find the right RK/Stihl one then and update my original post. I thought the one in my mind was bigger and more impressive than the one I first clicked on.Ummm…that is a HUSKY display.

(It was a VIDEO panning the display. Now I need to see if I saved that one.)

I got it from Amazon , search for farm garage Chainsaw Rack. I think it was $98.

Looks nice, but...
I made the mistake of storing a Stihl leaf blower vertically to save space, ended up cracking the plastic and some of it caved in to a hole... I guess too much stress on the plastic housing in one spot (recommend storing horizontally). It's not in your display, but I learned that lesson the hard way.

What models and how old? I had a long-time leakage problem with my MS211 - Stihl makes a repair piece (essentially a small vacuum hose connector to push the built-in hose grommet against the leak spot), or you can replace the transfer hose (supposedly upgraded). I finally replaced the hose - I haven't used it much since, but it didn't leak afterwards.
I forget, but the new one is only about 2yrs old and has leaked since day 1. Summer weight old might be OK, but the winter weight drained out in the warm basement.
Edit: MS251, 8yrs old. MS262 2yrs old

Nice, clean, compact setup. VERY nice, @garagesapien!
I'm many years overdue for organizing the shed (including my Kombi system), I'm really loving your setup.
