Three point linkage compressor

[Devil's advocate]

I have seen 3pt hitch compressor's used in the fruit industry but no idea who makes them

Seems a no brainer to me 150 lt tank at 140 psi to provide plenty of air for normal jobs around the farm.

Anyone have one or use one?

Some umbilical contractors use these. Often fitted to the front and PTO driven, not huge but have enough capacity to clean out an umbilical system no sweat.

That's more powerful than I was thinking, still good to know.

Oh, you mean the little PTO compressors you can use to pump up tyres etc?

Yes fencing with nail gun & big powerful drills (for drilling through a railway sleeper), blowing tyres up quickly, painting etc. Workshop compressor but mobile.

Would a little petrol engined compressor not be more useful or are you already running a tractor or similar as part of your work?

Easier to engage pto than crank a petrol engine.

Just a question seen quite good one powering air powered prunners, think it was Italian.

You can get electric star Honda ones but I take your point. If you are using a tractor all the time on the job then you have an engine running as you say so PTO no big deal.

You can get 100% duty 12v compressors. Used on off road 4x4’s, cars converted to air ride & also artic trailer conversions to keep air bags pumped up. Would need plugging in via anderson plug. You can buy complete kit online, compressor, tank etc.

Id go with a decent honda powered one. the pto ones umbilical contractors use are mega money and very rare 2nd hand.

My advise would be get one way bigger than you think you need, one with a diesel engine. The ablity to blow equipment off with air is very usefull
