Salsco makes one that I know of. It's a 10" that needs at least a 35hp tractor.
DR makes a little one... 4"?? that's a trailer mount.
There's probably a couple more but 13hrs on a forktruck and I'm about shot. HTH

Curious why you would want wheels? A chipper is best placed firmly on the ground while being operated.
I purchased a Valby CH170 (same as CH140 except 2x the flywheel speed) after looking at a lot of other options. My key factors were capability, and durability more than price. The hydraulic feed and low load height make this thing kick butt...

The Valby is a new name for me. I checked out their web page and it looks like a solid machine that is easy to work with.
They don't mention any prices. Can you tell us what price range we need to be prepared for?

$6k plus
www.threeriversforestry.com is where I bought mine.
The hinging feed chute has proven to be an excellent design as it really aids in transporting in tight areas. With the low load height, and hydraulic feed a guy can feed in whatever he can drag and it will pull it in limbs and all. The CH170 was about $1200 more, but it has more "blow" and with the higher flywheel speed it carries more inertia and runs a bit smoother.
Helpers always want to trim the trees more, and it's hard to get them to leave things in larger pieces. We can feed 20-30' tall trees provided they are relatively straight so they don't bind in the 6" feed.
We did a Maple tree for the mother in law and had it down, chunked chipped including unloading and reloading the tractor in under an hour. This was myself (questionable back) on the saw (Husky) with Elaine, her mother and the neighbor guy (50's) to feed. We also used the tractor to tie off and pull the tree the correct direction.
The neighbor has a medium sized gas powered chipper and hasn't stopped talking about how awesome that Valby chipper is. I told him I was going to the next model up (this was a demo) and he said WHY?
Basically between the mother in law and her neighbor they figure they can keep me busy a lot during the summer. Not like I have time, but I'll have to make some I guess.
And to think I bought this as a toy...

I don't see why the salsco wouldn't... the specs say it's very heavy duty. The main disc/flywheel is 600 ish lbs...

The DR one is for little tractors and little jobs. 15-20 hp or so...
