Jefferson stuff is pure garbage. Has it still oil in it? If no ul have no warrantt
Jefferson(aka McIntyre‘s Kilrea) have tools for all budgets, so you have to watch when buying that you aren’t buying diy spec, but a 300l compressor should be decent spec. But even then, they wouldn’t be rated as top notch, which is reflected in the price. It’ll be a copy of a sealey, sip, draper, Halfords, sgs, Clarke,etc, in different colours.
just make sure you read the manual first, before claiming warranty, so you know what oil it should take and how often it should be checked, etc etc.

What would be classed as a real quality compressor that would last years and what price would it be. Size for running orby feeders?

Got a 16cfm multi piston compressor of ace air in dromara around 4 years ago, it’s a heavier duty type of compressor, around double the money of the bog standard single piston type. Runs slower and quieter than 13 cfm sip we had before. Similar to this one here

My compressor for parlour feeders had a baby after 26 years, bought a new jefferson 300 litre for £520, it's had a baby after 7 months, pump looks to have seized, are all new compressors sh!t, what's everyone else using
Would this be big enough? Three year warranty.
Just over £70 before VAT.
The submersible pump in parlour pit came out of Lidl 10 years ago. £34. So cheap I bought a 2 ND just in case. Still sitting in the box.

You’d need about 3 of them to match a normal 3hp type compressor. I keep all my Lidl electric goods boxes and write the date purchased on them in case I need the warranty

Yes silage ground has stalled and cow grazing isn't coming back after it's grazed. Great weather but always a sharp air, don't like to say it but it'll take some rain to bring proper heat.
Our silage ground seems to be getting on alright but yeah cow grazing coming back is nearly non existent
