4" chipper is a good size.
Anything over 3" is firewood.

I have rented a good-sized wood chipper a few times. They have safety features 
to mostly keep a user from killing zitselves but you need to be aware and 
cautious. The ones I rented can do a 4” branch. Engine driven. Loud as hell and 
stuff can get thrown ar, wear noise and eye protection. 

They grind stuff up pretty well so vines and stuff emerge fairly pulverized. 

If you rent one check the chopper wheel first to make sure the blade is sharp. 
I got one once and the blade had no edge whatsoever and wouldn’t work and kept 
jamming. Rather than drag it back to the rental place I took off the blade and 
put it on the bench grinder and got it working great.

As the movie Fargo shows, wood chippers are for more than just wood.

By the way, where I live I just burn limbs and other yard waste from time to 
time as it accumulates, but have wondered about what to do if I really wanted 
to clear out some substantial areas. Has anyone ever rented a commercial-type 
wood chipper? Are they difficult to operate safely, and if you chip up invasive 
stuff like honeysuckle should you not use that as mulch?
