An infeed system of a chipper or grinder includes a feed roller, a motor for rotating the roller, a hydraulic cylinder for adjusting an amount of crush force applied by the roller, a sensor, and a controller in data communication with the sensor and the cylinder. In operation, the controller determines whether the material is being effectively moved to the processing portion and whether the amount of crush force is at a maximum or lowest setting. The controller causes the cylinder to: (a) decrease the amount of crush force when the material is being effectively moved to the processing portion and the amount of crush force applied is not at the lowest setting; and (b) increase the amount of crush force when the material is not being effectively moved to the processing portion and the amount of crush force is not at the maximum setting. 1. An infeed system for a chipper or grinder , the chipper or grinder having a reducing portion wherein a material is processed into smaller pieces , the infeed system comprising:a hydraulic cylinder operatively connected to a feed roller and configured for adjusting an amount of crush force applied by the feed roller onto the item;a sensor monitoring an operating condition of the chipper and/or effectiveness of movement of the material by the chipper or grinder; and (a) determine, from data received by the sensor, whether the material is being effectively moved to the reducing portion,', '(b) control the hydraulic cylinder to decrease the amount of crush force applied when the controller determines that the material is being effectively moved to the reducing portion,', '(c) control the hydraulic cylinder to increase the amount of crush force applied when the controller determines that the material is not being effectively moved to the reducing portion, and,', '(d) continuously repeat the steps of (a)-(c) to optimize the force applied by the feed roller to the item while feeding the material toward the reducing portion., 'a controller ...
