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.

Easy to assemble. Cuts through everything we’ve thrown at it but does get clogged if too many short bits are put in the chute. We used a longer branch to poke them through the cutter. Starts easy on first click of the key. Easy to change blade over (not sharpened it yet) but would advise getting Forest Master socket for this job. The accessory handle would make life easier, waiting for it to come back in stock. Very pleased with this machine so far.
This is the machine we needed! We’ve nearly 2 acres with trees and hedgerows to maintain, and this is definitely a game changer for us at a price we can justify. I’ll look forward to using this for many years to come. Everything works really well and looks to be well specified for its intended purpose. Assembly wasn’t difficult if you’re mechanically minded and that way inclined with a selection of tools.
There is lots mentioned about the mulcher producing <10mm mulch, which to most people would only start o make sense when they see the mulch produced. Suggestion might be to show images of mulch itself (in hand or have something in shot to scale against), for both chipper and mulcher outputs, so customers can quickly judge what might be best for their needs. I'm really happy with the mulcher, its operation and the finer mulch!
The only last point, and I know you sell something to help as an addon, but it should really have a central handle as standard to assist with manoeuvring.
Tried to use on brambles, if I had several weeks to put through machine it would be fine. Very disappointed
This is a very solidly built bit of kit. Assembling it is a doddle, provided you follow the instructions closely. The motor started first time, just getting it fine tuned but it works really well.
The safety features make the machine virtually unusable. It kept clogging and hard to get green weeds into the hopper without removing the rubber flap. The wiring is exposed and vulnerable to damage. That all being said works fine and ideal for the medium to large garden as fairly light and manouverable. I love the electric start!
