ChipMaster 220 Helps Clean Up At Holiday Park
Lady’s Mile Holiday Park is a family run park located in one of the most beautiful parts of Devon less than a mile from Dawlish Warren. Total area of the site stretches to 65 acres with the top of the site consisting of an extensive woodland area.
Back in February the park took a beating from the storms and they lost a lot of trees resulting in a massive clearing up exercise.
Jason Jeffery is co-owner and takes up the story, “At the time we only had a 6” chipper that was not man enough to cope with the work so we hired in a much larger machine. All we could get at short notice was a GreenMech and I was very impressed. In the past I would only have looked at one make and it wouldn’t have been GreenMech, not for any particular reason other than personal knowledge.”

Because of the urgency of his need for the machine Jason committed Julian to the sale of the demonstration unit – on the spot! “Once Julian had shown us what the chipper could really do we were hooked,” he said. “It was also opportune that Julian could give us product safety demonstrations and show all the team how to use it correctly and safely.”
The ChipMaster 220 TMP is for tackling those really big jobs with its substantial 220mm chipping capacity. It has a generous 230mm x 230mm infeed throat and powerful twin feed rollers controlled by an electronic No-Stress system.
The patented Disc-Blade chipping system will ensure a constant chip quality and reduce the volume of up to 7 tonnes of clean green waste per hour. The discharge chute rotates by 280° to allow the operator to direct the chip in the required direction.
The standard road tow model is engineered with a 50hp Isuzu water-cooled diesel engine and the TMP PTO driven model fits the 3-point linkage on tractors from 60 to 80hp.
Jason feels strongly that chipping the woodland waste they have is a much better option than tracking it away and burning it, which is what they used to do a few years ago. Additionally, the woodchip bi-product has come in ideal for the garden areas.
Last word from Jason: “The maintenance of the chipper is done in house, but on the whole the GreenMech is a low maintenance machine anyway. The only really wearing parts on it are the blades, so it’s just a regular greasing that is needed.”
