Advantage: one of the lightest on the French market, the reason for my purchase. Disadvantage: very difficult to start! And do not cut branch of a diameter greater than 1.5 cm and the blades are blocked constantly with small branches !!! The reason for these disadvantages is because this hedge trimmer has only one blade sharpened on 2 !!!! My old hedge trimmer (25 years) starts better and cut better than 6028 !!! I am very disappointed by McCulloch! I thought also buy a McCulloch mower, I'll switch brands.
