nice looking rig you have there :) have to say 406/416 is the best rig for tree surgery in my opinion, not too big, not too small.

hinged hopper are generally on front mounted chippers i find, until you get to the bigger stuff. TP are a great chipper, the build quality is very good. but i have to say, if you want the ultimate chipper to sit behind or in front of a mog, its got to be a schliesing, great chippers, but you pay for it.

regarding the winch, castos right...  ;) why go for electric when youve got hydraulics or PTO to choose from, you can pull more with both of those (and even though you say you dont want to pull too much, i can guarantee, one day you will want to) they don't get hot. and a pto winch is seriously fast! (especially the werner f56  8) ) which is great for pulling trees over that have a lean in  the wrong direction, or when its really windy, we used to get called out by tree surgeons all the time just for the winch, it pulled faster than they could with their tractors. you actually have a mechanical joint with a pto winch, so it will pull and pull and pull, until the engine stalls, or the rope snaps.

plus they dont pull your battery down... (p.s. im not a fan of electric winches  :D )
