The Truyard CM65 Electric Chipper Mulcher is a heavy-duty option for homeowners looking for an electric garden shredder capable of processing more than just light garden waste. Combining a dedicated chipper blade with an 18-hammer mulching and shredding system, the CM65 can process woody branches, prunings, leaves and softer green garden material in one machine.

Powered by a 1.5kW single-phase electric motor, the CM65 provides the versatility of Truyard's proven chipper-mulcher design without the fuel and routine engine maintenance of a petrol-powered machine. For homeowners comparing electric garden shredders, the CM65 offers the added capability of a dedicated chipper blade for processing larger woody branches.

The CM65 works differently from a conventional garden chipper or basic garden shredder. Woody branches fed through the dedicated chipper chute are first cut by a hardened high-carbon steel chipper blade. The material then continues through the hammer chamber, where 18 swinging hammers further process it before discharge. Leaves, smaller prunings and softer garden material can be fed through the large hopper for processing by the hammer system.

With the ability to chip suitable green branches up to 65mm (2.5") in diameter, the CM65 combines the functions commonly associated with a garden shredder, chipper and mulcher. This makes it particularly useful for Australian gardens where clean-up can involve everything from leafy prunings and softer green waste through to larger woody branches. Actual chipping capacity will vary depending on timber species, hardness, moisture content and the condition of the material being processed.

Why Choose the CM65 Electric Chipper Mulcher?

• Chipping, mulching and shredding in one machine: Processes woody branches as well as smaller prunings, leaves and softer garden material.
• Up to 65mm branch capacity: Chips suitable green branches up to 65mm (2.5") in diameter, depending on species and condition.
• High-carbon steel chipper blade: Woody branches are initially cut by a hardened chipper blade before the material continues through the hammer section.
• 18 reversible mulching and shredding hammers: Swinging spring-steel hammers further process chipped material and handle smaller, softer garden waste.
• 1.5kW electric motor: Single-phase electric power eliminates the need for petrol, engine oil and petrol-engine starting procedures.
• Heavy-duty steel construction: An all-steel chassis provides the durability expected from a Truyard chipper mulcher.
• Easy to manoeuvre: A rear handle and strong wheels make the CM65 practical to move around residential properties.
• Australian support: Backed by Truyard warranty, genuine spare parts and nationwide dealer support.

More Than a Conventional Electric Garden Shredder

The CM65 is technically a chipper mulcher, but its design allows it to perform the work commonly associated with an electric garden shredder while also handling larger woody material. Rather than relying on a single cutting mechanism, its hardened chipper blade and swinging hammer system work together to process different types of garden waste.

Woody branches are fed through the dedicated chipper chute and initially cut by the hardened chipper blade. The chipped material then continues into the hammer chamber, where the 18 swinging hammers further process it before discharge.

Leaves, smaller prunings and softer garden material can be fed through the larger hopper and processed by the hammer system. This combination makes the CM65 particularly useful where garden clean-up produces a mixture of woody branches, leafy prunings and softer green waste rather than branches alone.

Garden Shredder vs Chipper – What's the Difference?

A garden shredder is generally used to reduce smaller prunings, leaves and mixed garden waste, while a chipper is primarily designed to cut woody branches into chips. The CM65 combines these capabilities through its chipper-mulcher design, using a dedicated chipper blade together with a swinging hammer system to process a broader range of garden material in one machine.
