Electric Start Garden Shredder, Mulcher and Chipper for all Garden Waste (FM6DDES-MUL)
If you’re looking for one machine to miraculously reduce all of your garden waste – it doesn’t get much better than this petrol garden shredder (FM6DDES-MUL).
The very first of its kind, the FM6DDES-MUL takes great joy in taking any garden waste you can throw at it and reducing it down to precious mulch which is less than 10mm in size. Gone are the days of choosing between a garden shredder or a wood chipper, this machine combines both and can effortlessly provide you with the functionality of a petrol garden shredder, wood chipper and mulcher all in one very compact machine.
Equipped with a powerful 4-stroke LCT 6HP Electric Start Engine – the shredder mulcher effortlessly works its way through mountains of waste at just the turn of a key. Forget about the time of pulling relentlessly at the pull start cord trying to get your machine started, simply turn the key to start and away you go! The electric start is also equipped with a backup pull start. If you prefer a pull-start-only edition of this machine – the FM6DD-MUL pull-start is available from us directly.
The lightweight and compact design permits you to neatly store away the petrol garden shredder when not being used, and afterwards, wheel it out into the garden effortlessly when you have mulching errands to get past. The machine is incredibly low maintenance and only requires standard engine maintenance as well as replacing the blades when they eventually dull.
The FM6DDES-MUL is a game changer when it comes to domestic gardening machinery. One of the main inspirations behind the machine is for years we have had countless requests from customers for a machine that can handle both chipping and mulching. Many well-known competitor brands have tried and failed at this, leaving customers frustrated. The FM6DDES petrol garden shredder is tried and tested for all materials. Wood older than three days may produce sawdust.
A ground-breaking design implemented within this unique and innovative machine is the ability to completely rotate/adjust the chipper drum to suit the material you’re processing. The fully adjustable angle means that you have complete control over the speed at which the machine will mulch. Mulching a hard material? Simply rotate the hopper and chute to be vertical which allows the machine to process the material into the drum and produce a fine mulch result.
If you only need to chip wood and have no need to mulch or shred green garden waste – take a look at our FM6DD wood chipper.

A very good device, although im a little lost as to why the chipper is so much cheaper and it would appear to be the same device as the mulcher, appart from a differnt output chute, which you can buy separately resulting at a cheaper cost. Something to look at for anyone buying. For the functionality it is a powerful mulcher, producing fine chips. Green branches are pulled through quickly, what I have found is that seasoned branches are not pulled through as easily, and can stall the machine at the top end of the branch 50mm diameter. But it isn’t much an issue. Seasoned branches tend to back fill the loading chute but I haven’t found this an issue as it does clear with running. Make sure and read the manual, I have had the microswitch back off on me once and the machine would not start but that was my mistake not tightening it enough. Manuals are wrong for the building of the device and need corrected. If you have the electronic start, the bolts for the battery box and those that hold the engine down are one in the same. So far ive save 300 in bulk bags of wood chip for the garden, so half the machine was paid off in a weekend. I would like to have had some information in the manual to know if you can back off the ancil to allow bigger chips, other than buying thr chipper chute but there is no information there. Very happy so far. I woukd say for small gardens you dont need as capibile a machine, however for a smaller chipper than those used by tree surgeons it is very capible.
It should come with the handle already supplied
This is an excellent well made machine. The shredding/mulching system has been well designed and thought through.
My last shredder was the old style that used flail hammers to macerate the garden waste. This meant that material was better processed when dry and brittle. Any wet material or green wood tended to block or jam the machine. With the Forest Master machine the waste is cut by a rotating drum.
If you are old enough to remember the old fashioned cheese grater that used a small hopper and grating drum the Forest Master machine is similar but uses blades instead of the grater drum and of course on a much larger scale. This means that all waste can be processed wet or dry and provided that you do not overload the feed hopper/chute, it does not clog up. I had a mountain of waste to process when the Forest Master machine arrived and processed the lot without one stoppage.
The mulcher is super easy to assemble and it started first pull. I ordered the electric starter for when my wife uses the machine but starting by hand seems effortless so far.
