Thanks for all the reply’s. Out off all the above what has the best set of feed rollers   and grabbing strength. 
 

Jensen

Another Jensen fan - build quality is awesome. Some of the newer models have got smaller engines, just be aware.

Schleising are awesome, so are some of the Greenmech models. Timberwolf make some good chippers too. Forst will outperform most chippers hands down, but I would not like to own one out of warranty- the reliability is not there hence the low resale value.

Spot on with that. 

Great sales team but the back up isn't great.

Jensen in my view. Jensen work with one hydraulic motor driving a gearbox with two timed output shafts, one to each feed roller. This way the rollers can have coarse teeth that interlock. All other chippers that I am familiar with have a motor for each roller, and therefore the rollers cannot overlap or the teeth would get damaged. Please correct me anyone, if there are other makes that do it the Jensen way.

The Jenson rollers also move up only on one side keeping really good contact on both big and little material.

That's how my old Premier pto chipper rollers worked, once that thing got hold of a bit of wood that was it, if you wasn't quick enough to stop rollers belts would slip.
