bobnewjersey,
I have a Bearcat 74554. It's 5" capacity, with hydraulic feed. Nice unit. Whatever you do, if you can afford it, buy a chipper with hydraulic feed. It's much less work to feed, and a lot safer. Just stick it in, and once it get's a grip, you can let go and pick up the next branch. I had to pay $5200 for the unit. I almost bought a manual unit for $1800 less, but now I'm really glad I didn't.
