KDJ, I can't say for sure how many hours I have put on my Husquavarna. I had it more than a year before my nephew put straight gas in it. I bought a new one and the old still works as strong as it did new. It may die on me soon but for now it works.

If you are working 15-20 hours a week a commercial trimmer will last you forever. Plus if you grow you will need the trimmer to handle the additional work load. It will be worth it.

I also have a Ryobi that I use as a stick edger. May take it off the trailer once or twice a month. It actually is my second Ryobi. My first one died a painful death when the moter fell off of the shaft mounted in my trimmer rack while moving down the road. Did not see it fall off and I have not seen it since.

I highly recommend a commercial trimmer. I have heard good things about the Red Max, Stihl, Husquavarna and Maruyama.

Good luck on your decision.
