Should really have the ability to stop and reverse the chipper from the controls of whatever you're loading it with

Fair point.

When we use the loader, there’s always a guy beside the chipper making sure it goes in ok.

that wouldnt be impossible or too hard to do? 

Beyond me... I've only ever hamfistedly digger fed road tow chippers. 

But I believe it's a 'requirement' and modern up to spec machine fed chippers either have feed controls by the crane controls or as a remote control unit for in the cab of what you're loading it with.

 You'll need a remote control box and electric solenoid valves to match. Not so bad if the chipper already has electric solenoid coils. However a big job and probably not feasible to do if the forward / reverse/ stop is a mechanical hydraulic operation.
