Chipper Discharge Chute for Compact Mulcher Series – Convert your mulcher into a wood chipper
The standalone compact mulcher series is absolutely perfect for mulching and shredding all of your garden waste down to material that is less than 10mm. However, due to the wet nature of garden waste material, the mulcher requires a lower exit chute. The mulcher accessory kit includes an upper discharge chute which allows you to direct your wood chips into a wheelbarrow. The accessory also includes a blanking plate – this means that the chips no longer pass through the grated drum design and in turn produces wood chips that are larger than 10mm. These wood chips are perfect for decorative purposes.
When you’re finished chipping into a barrow and want to swap back to mulching, shredding or producing smaller chips you can simply swap the chutes back over. It’s the best of both worlds. Note that when the chipping discharge chute is attached – you can only chip wood branches or leafy branches (ratio wood approximately 80/20). If you wish to mulch green material or waste, simply swap back to the lower mulching chute.
Compatible with FM6DD-MUL & FM4DDE-MUL compact mulchers

Faultless performance, ideal for creating “forest bark”.

Great service. My machine came pre assembled and worked great for a day. It then wouldn’t start up next day as had been overfilled with oil. Collection of broken unit and replacement unit within 48 hours. Would buy from them again.

Works as stated. Would give higher score if less fiddly to swap over.

Haven’t used this yet but it looks robustly made.

Does what it says on the discription once I realised the drum had to rotate so that it cleared the exhaust cage!

I have just bought an FM4DDE-MUL shredder and I live in France. The order was quickly delivered in good condition. The material well protected and packaged.
I had a few questions for the FOREST-MASTER team and I would like to thank them for their responsiveness and good advice.
This machine seems made to last because of a solid design.

Not used yet as I’m still familiarising with the machine’s standard mulch outlet. Looks to be a pretty straightforward change over process. Purchased as I wanted flexibility to deal with a range of garden waste. Had i known the machine would arrive with a ‘£10 off the next order’ ticket, i would have ordered the discharge chute separately and saved a tenner.

Better than standard product for filling barrow / sacks. Think it would be useful to have as an option for buying mulcher/ chipper with lower or upper chute or both.

The chipper accessory kit works well on my Mulcher machine. It gives me he best of both mulching and chipping and only takes two minutes to swap over. Slightly expensive for a chute but worth it.

Makes a great improvement to the mulcher for chipping

Have been on the Upper discharge chute waiting list so ordered when looking through web site; to complete flexibility of chipper.

Arrived promptly, as the chipper did originally. Had to trim the protective cage around the exhaust to enable discharge chute to fit but otherwise was a simple fit. Didn’t fit the 2 cross bar bolts as they like on the original chute would create blockages. Overall, very happy.

Lack of fitting instructions proved frustrating initially, but once fathomed it’s easy enough to change over. Am a bit disappointed on first use as the chippings are very fine and became stuck in the cutting drum, but I’ll try again with less fresh branches that will hopefully contain less moisture

Excellent for chipping. Now I can mulch or chip depending on the task.

Sicherheitsschrauben sind hinderlcih. Sonst eine gute Option.

Excellent bit of kit to convert my mulcher to a chipper. Four stars as never included instructions to fit. Admittedly it is fairly obvious how it fits. Though you have to orientate the mulcher discharge chute to its high position before you can remove it as in the recommended low position it butts up against the wheel. I also had to undertake some shaping of the bottom blanking plate before it aligned with the chipper chute bolt holes. I did use the chat facility and was given the direct number for Tech support if I needed it. I will be contacting them for a follow up question on discharge angles with the chipper chute fitted.

Would be good to have an instruction sheet with the chute.. But its working well thankyou.

All seems to work as it should, however it arrived a bit scratched/chipped. I contacted them and was initially told that they couldn’t supply touch up paint but eventually at least got the RAL code (2009) so that I could buy my own.

No instruction manual or fitting instructions for chute other than that its a great little machine, does exactly what i need it for

Definitely an esseantial add-on for this machine
Menno (verified owner) –
Very expensive for this bit of steel that isn’t easy at all to assemble (in my case). I had to take the wheel off the machine first. Swapping between accessories could be better.
John Bradshaw (verified owner) –
Expensive for what it is, I think it should come as standard on the mulchers.
No instructions ☹️
The bottom blanking plate didn’t align with the bolt holes initially. At £80 I expect it the fit perfectly first time around.
Needed a bit of TLC increasing the depth of the curve to bring the bolts in to match the holes.
I used the long retaining bolts as an ankor point to carefully bend the plate.
Overall, it took 15-20 minutes to fix and get it up and running.
