Forest Master FM6DDES-MUL Electric Start Petrol 6 hp Mulcher

Shreds very fast! Dealt with our tree branches super well, shredded them small enough so that we could put all our garden waste on the compost. Quite loud due to the petrol engine so just made sure we used at sociable hours so as not to disturb neighbours. We also used ear defenders too just in case.

relatively simple to put together, feed shoot is fairly narrow which is ok for stick like material but the guards make it very difficult to shred other twiggier material as difficult to feed. Also discharge shute is very close to ground which makes it difficult to feed into a container, i got arround this by removing the lower portion of the discharge shute which strictly speaking you should not do

Great chipper easy to assemble and does the job well Almost impossible to move from location to location unless you are very short. No handle to transport around so you have to hold onto the feed hopper and pull it around while crouching as it’s not that high off the ground

Very small aperture to feed in and need to be straight pieces of timber

Don’t buy this item it’s outlet is pants and blocks within seconds, you need to take off guard to get anything in it and it is not self feeding ..positives are the electric start is good and not is powerful ..
