Depends a lot on what you want to do with it. Like Rod said Rand and Rollair are good brands but you also need to decide how many CFM at what pressure you need. Open drive, long life and quiet operation, or oilless, last quicker and louder. 120 or 240 volt. If you need high pressure your better off with a head unloader. Self draining tank is a real good idea in this humid area. If you are going to use a lot of air then an air cooler is in order. The list goes on. If you have access to a W W Grainger catalog they have a good section on compressor selection. Good read last time I looked thru it.

The shop at the farm has a open wheel compressor run by two 2HP 240 volt motors. The tank is also fed by a little 1/2 HP open wheel that kicks on 10 PSI above the big compressor. This keeps the big unit from cycling when only a small amount of air is being used. Cost effective and easy to set up.

You have been busy haven't you? Had fun camping and riding at SL. Picked up trash Saturday..........found lots of stuff, including a bug shield, and part of the underside of a truck, pieces of tire, plus bottles, cans, plastic. Considering the weather there was a pretty good turnout. Michael won the poker run with 4 queens. Took the little ones down the one way - Josh out front, then 3 lt80s (took a friend's kid riding too since we don't have enough kids or anything [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] ) and the 90, then me. The kids did great. Nicole needs to learn how to downshift the 90, but overall, they rode well.

A cupla folks mentioned Thanksgiving at the dunes. We are booked at Horsfall. Anyone else going?

Take care, and goodnight everyone.

 

That's why I'm a trail rider [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I can keep up no problem if not smoke em on the trails [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Put me on the dunes and it is down right embarrassing [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Well, I want to keep it fairly simple, hoping to pick one up locally in a store. Use would be for impact tools, nail guns, grinder, normal garage and home use. Harbor Freight has a nice Campbell Hausfeld, 26 gallon, 10.2 CFM, 135 PSI, belt drive, oil fed, 240 volt for $430.00. That brand had some nice reviews, do ya'll know anything about Campbell Hausfeld?
