You'd want at least a 5HP motor and bigger would be better, but looks to
me as would be doable. A single phase of ample HP might not fit in the
location underneath, but you wouldn't have to mount it there.

That big of motor kinda makes me wonder about a gas-powered engine. Pull
the snow blower motor off during the spring and make chips. As a bonus,
the motor hasn't sat for the last several months with nothing to do.

Maybe a good idea for one of those barn style shops with lots of space.
