Air Compressors...Again

[Arbo]

Just thought I would throw in my two cents on the air compressor discussion that has been popular lately. I recently needed a new compressor as my antique that I was running finally went to the grave yard. I had been shopping around for a few weeks, and stopped in at Tractor Supply last week. They have an Ingersoll Rand, 60 gallon tank, three HP (7.9 peak), 11 CFM @ 90psi, 135 psi max. It is a special anniversary edition that was made for Tractor Supply. It came with an air ratchet, and a butterfly impact for $465.00. The exact same compressor painted IR beige, and without the tools was $599.00. It was a no-brainer for me, as the only other unit I could find was a Campbell Hausfeld in my price range. I have been running it with my DA sander at 80 psi, and it is keeping up without any trouble. Just thought I would share this info, in case anybody wants to check it out.

Thanks for the post Arbo. I was looking at that very same compressor just last week. I was trying to figure out why the price difference between the two paint jobs. I had my hand in my pocket to get that plastic card out but was suspicious and could not quite get my hand out of my pocket. I noticed the one with the red paint had a tsc on the label and was trying to figure out why it was cheaper than what appeared to be an identical model with a beige paint job. Plus like you said you got a bonus of some air tools with the red paint. Seems to good to be true. Maybe there is such a thing as a free lunch.

Hey......maybe they will get some Dynasty200 DX's with a red paint job and a bonus 375 plasma cutter. How about it ROCK?

Glad you like your new compressor Arbo. Guess I will have to go back and take another good look.

BITTERNUT...........I'm sorry we will not be painting the 200dx any other color except for what it comes in now...........Like wise with the 375 cutmate................Sorry..........

Arbo...........that sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I might stop at the local TSC store tomorrow night and take a look and see.....................Be safe......................Rock..

I just bought that compressor too. I'm happy with it.

mine primarily runs a mist coolant system on my mill, and blows chips off the work.

mine wasn't the aniversary with the ratchet, but the same compressor.

Bitternut,if Miller won't paint it,maybe just get a Thermal-Arc 185.It is not red,but close.

About the Dynastydx...............TSC does not have a contract for that machine...........However they do sell the 375 cutmate and it is The Airforce 400 thru TSC...................Be safe and enjoy the site
