McCulloch Tivoli 63 Petrol Hedge Cutter

I have had it for 14 months - it has always been difficult to start. The pamphlet is not a great help.

Took it back to Machine Mart who replaced the cord winder. It was still difficult to start.

I stopped it half way though cutting the hedge, when I went to restart, it would not. I lost faith in Machine Mart amnd I have taken it to an independent who has stripped it and rebuilt it. There are no apparent problems but he cannot start it.

It is out of warranty. I have wasted my money.

My advice. Do not buy one of these and think seriously before purchasing any other McCulloch equipment.

The McCulloch Tivoli 63 Petrol Hedge Cutter has a powerful cut, it managed my large laurel hedge in an afternoon, but I feel it is a poor starter. Mine took a long time to start first time but when I tried it again this spring, it would not go. It is back with the shop now who refunded me my money without any problems.
I do not think mine was a reliable piece of kit and in my opinion it was not worth the money

I live in France and bought the McCulloch Tivoli hedge cutter in the UK. When I returned home I had great difficulty starting it. Eventually I got it going but it ran just for 5 minutes and was then impossible to restart. I sought help from Husqvarna UK who took 24 days to answer my email messages and then said it was not their problem under the guarantee. I put the machine with a repairer who contacted Husqvarna France; they argued for three weeks that my guarantee was not valid in France. Even ...

Obviously I am not happy with the short life of this McCulloch Tivoli 63 Petrol Hedge Cutter, at 15 months old it started to get very hot and stopped and i have been told that it will not be cost effective to have it repaired.

The McCulloch Tivoli 63 Petrol Hedge Cutter has been a waste of time and money, I bought from Cheapmowers Ltd who I feel were not helpful at all when I contacted them and explained my difficulty, i,e. one useless hedge trimmer. I have wasted £164.95. Buyers beware!

Personally, I bought the McCulloch Tivoli 63 Petrol Hedge Cutter primarily for about 40m of hedge and general bush trimming a good distance from any electric supply. Prior experience with electric trimmers suggested a more powerful machine was required.
The swivel handle is a necessity for good control.
The engagement arm for starting broke after about 30 hours of use - I'm now testing the after sales guarantee service!

I bought a McCulloch Tivoli 63 Petrol Hedge Cutter 14 years ago, and it's worked very well for me. You have to get the hang of using some choke initially, and then running without choke, but that's normal for any small petrol engine like device like this; I've never failed to get it to start. The machine has cut through hedges, twigs, small branches, weeds and everything I've used it for. The reach is of course limited if you've got very tall hedges, and because of the weight of the machine, I ...

We have petrol stimmers, chain saws, etc so we are not new to this type of equipment - I think it has to be the worst ever.

This review if based on my use of the McCulloch Tivoli 63 Petrol Hedge Cutter. Maybe I just had a faulty one by the other reviews.

The instructions for the McCulloch Tivoli 63 Petrol hedge cutter weren't especially clear, especially with regards to starting, and the role of the clutch. Also, there are far more safety points to plough through than actual instructions. Once that was sorted out and I got the thing running, following some twiddling of a cable adjuster not even mentioned in the instruction booklet, I was pleasantly surprised how well it coped with thick twigs/branches. Having used an electric trimmer for many ...

McCulloch Hedge Cutter ideal for use in short bursts, however it cuts through virtually any thing with ease so in no time you can cover a large area. The only problem is if you need to use ladders on tall hedges it gets quite tiring.
I've only run it for a few hours, but it still appears to be very sharp.
