Need an air compressor, shop size

[Desk Jockey]

I need an air compressor for filling truck tires. Tossed out a couple that just were not worth repairing last Spring and have been using the gas fired one off the duct truck since.

I remember Larry saying don't get one from Harbor freight, where should I get one Sear's, Lowe"s, Home Depot? What size for truck tires?

Thanks

Save yourself a couple of bucks and wear off some that well marbled lard ass. Your friend, the always helpful Willy.

Go to a specialty air compressor dealer and get a 3 phase 23 HP 340 Gal. tank. This should take care of all your needs

Mardie I thought of that but I'd like to be able to take it home and fill up what ever needs it at home too. I don't have the juice setup to run it and I wouldn't be able to haul it without busting my nutz. Something is always flat at home, fourwheeler, lawn mower, wheelbarrow, drag mower, gocart, lawn cart, its like musical chairs with flats. I green slimmed the drag mower but the rest I keep filling with an air bubble.

Thanks Larry I think the Hot Dog would work well. They can move it to where its needed and I can still take it home once in awhile to keep things aired up.

Thanks for your help!
