[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3958695, member: 26737"] I have used a Porter-Cable "pancake" nailing compressor, similar to yours, to fill the front tires on tractors and tires on implements. It'll get the job done for them (especially when the tire is too far for the big compressor's hose to reach), but I wouldn't want to use it for more than adding a few pounds to the rear tire on a tractor bigger than a lawn tractor. My Ford 4000's front right tire had a slow leak; if you got it to 38psi, it would be fine all day, but God help you if you only got it to 37.5psi. There was one time that I ended up with a coiled-up air hose and a farm jack on one shoulder and that pancake compressor, a rubber mallet, and a ratchet strap in my other hand, trudging across the hay field to get that ****ing tire back on the rim after only getting not-quite 38 psi into it before starting to cut hay...
