Garden Shredder Mulcher and Chipper for Wood, Plants and Garden Waste (FM6DD-MUL)
Mulching and composting just got a whole lot easier and more effective with our patented (GB2100107.8) 6HP Petrol Garden Shredder Mulcher.
We’re always striving to improve our machines to make them the best they can possibly be and to meet our customer’s high expectations which we’ve built over decades of forestry experience. Our newest update features a newly designed exit chute which combats and prevents blockages when mulching and chipping by allowing you to essentially have the length of the chute.
Compact, Lightweight, Powerful and Robust are the best words to describe our brand-new and innovative machine. The first of its kind, the garden shredder is capable of receiving any waste you can throw at it and processing it into precious mulch, crucial in creating effective black gold (compost) for your garden. Plants, leaves or any other garden waste can be fed into the machine and the garden mulcher will provide you with invaluable material for your compost bin in an instant. Our mulcher has been stress tested with anything you can think of and it’s yet to meet garden waste it can’t handle. Wood older than three days may produce sawdust.
What gave us the inspiration for the machine? For years we have received customer enquiries asking if we had a suitable machine for such tasks as well-known competitor brands have tried and failed at this attempt, often falling at the first hurdle of being able to process wet green waste such as grass and ivy. Our machine is a tried and tested one-stop shop for all your mulching needs.
Not sure if you require a garden mulcher or a wood chipper? This is a question of the past as the FM6DD-MUL is perfectly capable of also chipping wood into wood chips that are 10mm and below. If you’re mulching material that is particularly wet or likes to stick to the chute, the machine is designed in such a way that you can simply hose down the chutes to clear out any excess material.
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 full 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. The easier the material is to cut, the less steep you can rotate the machine to increase mulching speed. This innovative design works to prevent the engine from stalling as you can easily dictate how much material is processed and mulched at once.
How is the FM6DD-MUL Garden Shredder, Mulcher and Chipper better than competitors? Well, our machine is designed and produced using a steel design. You’ll find that the majority of garden shredders available on the market feature a plastic design. Why is steel better than plastic in this instance? The steel design is what allows our machine to be robust and powerful. Plastic designs can damage easily and cause issues down the road. Buy a machine – buy it once, is our motto. 95% of our machine is recyclable metals.
Prefer an electric motor? not a problem! We also have a 4HP Electric Counterpart (FM4DDE-MUL) to this mulcher which is capable of mulching all the same material.

Excellent, after a short learning curve it works perfectly. Assembly was mostly straightforward with the only tricky bit being extremely short threaded length being available when attaching the undercarriage, slightly thinner spring washers or longer bolts would solve this instantly. The engine started with the first pull of the cord!
I have used the chipper version on this machine before so was familiar with it and knew it would meet my requirements. It was straight forward to assemble and fired up on the first pull, it hasn’t been put to test yet though.
One area that isn’t very good at all is the confusing information regarding checking the oil. I followed the instructions and added a bottle of oil 600ml but there is a note added to the paperwork that says in order to check the oil level you must drain the oil into a measuring jug and if below 600ml add more and pour back in! Come on do you seriously expect users to do this prior to each use. I have always done my pre-use checks on all my machines and to have to drain the oil just to check is a first and it is ludicrous. The information is also contradictory in that the engine manual still mentions the dip sticks, which have been removed and it says to use 650ml of oil, come on which is it 600 or 650ml?
If you are thinking about one of these machines I would seriously reconsider and maybe look at something that uses a Honda engine, which is reliable and doesn’t require the oil to be removed just to check its level.
I wouldn’t have bought this machine if I had known this beforehand!
It’s a great bit of kit, I only stopped short of 5 smilies because some instructions on how to fit the upper discharge chute would have been good.
Solid bit of kit
