Hydraulic pump and MOTOR driving a sprocket & chain. It's still going to cost thousands unless you have access to old worn out parts...
My old planer has a simple motor and belt setup attached to the top. Someone bolted a plate to each upright and mounted a jackshaft & motor. Not the prettiest setup but it works. And quiet, too. I just love the clanking noises this thing makes.
These pics taken right after unloading it, the belt's missing but you can see where it goes.
