[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 3958934, member: 43171"] We just bought a new 220v 60 gallon IR last year. I THINK it cost right around $1,000 It is rated for continuous duty. The old 60 gallon we had still had a good tank so I plumbed it in also. So that gives us 120 gallons capacity. I’ve got a bigger diameter hose rigged up on one end of the shop plumbed into the secondary tank that I run the 3/4” drive impact off of when you must drag it out. The volume of air and supply hose size has drastically improved the performance of that 3/4” gun. Honestly the air impacts rarely get used anymore since I bought the Milwaukee m18 2767. Our compressor stays powered up 24/7/365 but rarely does it run with the 120 gallon volume on hand. We have air plumbed in the wall to a location near each of our 3 shop doors. Now as far as in the field, we had an engine drive “hotdog” compressor like posted above. The tank rusted out on it. We had a good vertical 60 gallon tank laying around so I welded some supports on it so it would lay flat and the moved the engine and compressor from the old hotdog to the new used 60 gallon now horizontal tank. We have a dedicated tool trailer with plenty of room. So again we now have tons of volume. We can blow tractor radiators out for a couple days before we need to run the engine again and airing up big tires in the field is much nicer. I’ll try to find pictures of my homemade “super jumbo hotdog” engine drive compressor. [ATTACH type="full"]344280[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]344281[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
