They may make heavy duty models but the 14" I bought 2 years ago from Home Depot was trouble since day one. I bought it and had a hell of a time getting it started the year we moved in, wrote it off. Last year masterd starting it after 50 or 60 pulls but would get fuel starved and die during use. This year with a whopping 30 minutes run time since new the F-er locked up solid, expect rings melted during lean fuel. Sitting in my garbage can, $150 wasted.
Just a heads up for home owners, Homelite has plenty of hate words online now that I researched.
