[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 5109320, member: 1103"] It’s a novel concept, but have you seen it done? There must be some reasons why this is not ordinarily done? Perhaps some potential pitfalls / downsides... - high-pressure to low pressure (7.5/10 bar) regulation, which most common air systems operate at. Would you have to have one for each bottle or one in common - run a high pressure manifold? Don’t know, this might be trivial or might not? - where to safely mount several 200 bar bottles on the tractor/multidrive? To aid swapping/checking the bottles, might not be that simple? - carriage of high pressure bottles on the road, not sure of any regs esp regarding such high pressure vessels. The H&S and road laws are such these days you’d need to make sure you were on the right side of the law, especially if there was a collision - how many tyre inflate cycles could you get before needing to refill the cylinders? I haven’t done the fag pack Boyle’s Law (PxV) maths, but you’d want at least two or three fill cycles I would’ve thought - cost as against simply an updated compressor, even the big separate screw-type unit mutha Andrew has mentioned?
