Does anyone make a digital inflator/ deflator where you can lock it on to the valve stem, set the pressure and walk away while it adjusts?
Both tractors are on VT tyres which is great, but we spend 20 minutes contorted around the lift arms setting the pressures, which is a pain in the hoop.

The 4x4 guys use them, ask in the off road forums?

That looks like what I bought from Amazon, so I just need to identify the short fat connector now.

the short fat connector that we are talking about is the euro fitting , plain 1/4 bsp is the thin long one , just screw the female connector off the air line that does not match up and fit euro fittings ,

Still got a couple of PCL ones, probably over 30 years old, had a digital one which lasted a year before the battery died after being left in a freezing workshop. Using an ARB (knock off) analogue type for about £15 at the moment which has lasted well.

The TFF gremlins have been at work, as soon as I recommend a product on here it will come back to bite me, my ARB type knock off is now leaking like a sieve after 18 months.

Can't believe everyone moaning about batteries! These are 35p. Just keep a pack in workshop. Most car key jobs use same battery.

You don't even need batteries for some electronic models ,I have been using a solar powered pressure gauge for years and although I'm not sure exactly how accurate it is,it has been very reliable(even in Scotland )

Can't find one of my PCL cylinder type gauges so ordered a replacement off Amazon. Used it for the first time today and not impressed, the quality has gone way down, I'm assuming they are made in China now. Compared it to my old one and the new one feels tinny, the brass adjusting screw has been replaced by a chromed job which looks like it has been fitted with a centre punch and is seized solid, the sealing washer looks like plastic instead of rubber and the piston grates as it slides out of the casing, compared to the silky smooth of my old one. I would send it back only I chucked the case away.
