 I  have got a 4 head moulder that I am setting up to run some t&g paneling  and am looking for some insight on what size blower I would need to suck the chips out and blow them into a trailer ?

i run a 16" diameter 7,000 cfm blower in my shop
the experts think i do things wrong
over 18 million b.f. processed and 7341 happy customers i disagree

You should probably have a 10hp to 20hp blower.  Does't hurt to have extra suction but not enough results in poor quality planing due to the chips not being extracted and beating against the surface of the board...very frustrating!
