My father got a used Vermeer 625 with auto-feed and it does great. This is a model that is commonly available for rental. It's a 6" capacity chipper with a 25 HP air cooled engine. Now even though it's technically a 6" chipper that just means it's opening at the feed roller is 6" X 6" and theoretically it would chip a 6" diameter log. It does 4" diameter hardwood easily. Got it freshly serviced from a Vermeer dealer where it was a trade in.
Now keep in mind he's not running a business, he got it for use on his property. If he was running a tree business I'm sure a larger one might be better but this is no toy. Anything it can't handle is big enough for firewood. It certainly chips fast enough to keep one person busy dragging limbs and quite frankly 2 people most of the time.
But it cost a heck of a lot more than a troy-bilt big box store chipper shredder.
Oh, and it doesn't shred. It isn't intended to nor does it handle pitch forks of leaves and sticks.
