I'm a little late to reply to this post but I have a Wallenstein BX52 that I run on my BX24. It is a beast and while it is pushing the limits of my tractor if used reasonably it works just fine. While it's capacity says 5", personally I have only chipped up to 3" branches but it gobbles them up fine without putting too much load on the tractor. 5" is firewood worthy anyway. This thing weighs in at about 580lbs and has a nice heavy flywheel. The price is not bad especially when its just a couple hundred above the much smaller ones. Wallenstein is a quality unit, great welds and craftsmanship.

I have a DRpower PTO Chipper. It is probably more basic (no shredder), and it only "auto feeds" due to the entry angle wood being chipped.
No matter the size of the tractor, I recommend the largest opening you can get. The reason isn't to chip 5" logs, but it is very helpful if the branches you are chipping are not straight, or the branches are not sawed off very close. It is a pain to have to take a log back out to saw it in smaller pieces.
