I'll jump in and be the safety "advisor" here. Make sure, once you have the chipper set up and running, you wear eye protection. A face shield might be okay, I had a sore lip one day from a small branch that slapped me on the face, left a mark on my safety glasses so glad I had those on. The other thing is hearing protection. Chipping green stuff isn't too bad but chipping dry stuff, like what has been in a pile for a year or two, sounds like a jack hammer inside a water tank. Don't even think about reaching inside the chute if something besides branches goes in there. YOu can buy more gloves, safety glasses or another cell phone.
If you plug the chipper up, shut the tractor off and put the key in your pocket before digging in there to clear it out.
Other than that chipping stuff is good clean fun.
