My chipper has both the safety wire and safety bar. I was told to convert to crane feed they take off the safety bar and weld a bar on the in feed to protect the wire. Hence my comment that I thought the machine had been adapted for crane feed.

If you PM me your email address I can send you a picture of my machine with the safety bar I am sure it would not take a lot to fit but these machines are animals once they start pulling in timber so you do need something to stop the infeed in an emergency.

You can chip any timber you want as long as it is metal and mud free

The blades will last a few hundred tonnes without needing to be replaced , you can sharpen in the machine with a small angle grinder very carefully and only a couple of times . The blades are fairly cheap so just bin them after that

You can chip in very cold conditions , the scandanavians do , in extreme frosts the ice does blunt the blades quicker
