OK, now I'm confused. Agent Blue wants hydraulic feed, and sugarmaple talks about a feed roller.
I currently have a standalone (ProMark / Gravely 310) 23hp brush chipper, and when it was running right, anything that could fit in the feed hopper it could chew up with no problems. It would go through a 6 foot high, 15 foot diameter pile of brush in 15 minutes or less. Of course, it has a huge flywheel and 12" cutters on it, and hydraulic fed. Unfortunately, the engine blew, and it is about $2k to replace with a Honda gas engine. Diesel engine is even more money.
A Jimna PTO chipper can be had for $1450, and while I hate to get rid of the ProMark, I can get the 3ph chipper around a lot easier and into more places in the woods.
