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.

I just mounted yesterday, Nov 4th, the machine and I did a short test with a dozen branches of laurel. The machine works very nice, it does an excellent job in mulching branches and leaves. Very happy of my purchase. The electric start worked at the first attempt.
However, I would like to highlight few things to improve in the documentation.
1. I ordered the electric start model and the assembly instructions need to be a bit clearer about when to mount the battery support. I ended up bolting twice the engine as I did not realise the battery support was bolted with the engine.
2. The manual talks about the dip stick to measure oil, but the machine has two entries to load oil but no one of them have the dip-stick: probably just a case.
3. I was hoping to read the Italian version of the manual, but the machine translated PDF provided was far from optimal: I ended up reading in English. It deserves a bit of review that translation as the mulching word ended up translated as “coffee grinder” 😀
4. Last but not least, the cables of the machine are not protected, not sure if a part is missing or it is by design: if the latter, I would recommend a cover as the cables are in the side where you stand to operate the machine as a branch could accidentally damage them.
Again, the feedback provided here are small improvements that would make even better an excellent product.
untidy elec. wiring and unclear instructions on assembly
don’t know how good it is as i still haven’t seen it yet.
Very powerful, mulched and chipped all
Manner of wood and clippings that had been in My compost heap for quite while. A bit fiddly to put together, but overall very impressed with its ability to get through garden waste.
Not tried it yet but very sturdy piece of kit.
