to me an air compressor is an essential tool...i always go oversized than what you think you will need....personally i would rather buy an old one thats rebuildable than a new one any day....definitely don't do oiless...i guess if youre painting model cars or something maybe, or spanking 8 pennies or roofing nails here and there, but they're noisy as hell and have you ever seen how they work with the moving cylinder/liner???? weird...built in obsolescence if you ask me...i recently converted one to an oiled pump using the elec motor from the oiless and just cutting off the cylinder and removing offset rod piston etc...anyways, i work in a place that has a 100hp kaiser, a 75hp rand and 2 -40hp rands...all screw...,(by the way nothing gets worked on more than the rands) so im spoiled by using air tools... i bought a floor model 80 gal puma for 425 bucks that makes 15cfm @90psi, its ok but no quincy...works good but nothing will work a compressor like painting...hence the low pressure HIGH volume, you can run 17psi at the gun and blow through a full tank of air in 45 sec...my buddy has a 1959 something, wish i could remember the name) with like .5" thick tank walls and he put a silo unloader motor on it,(as it was 3 phase) and that thing is a monster, will run 200psi to an impact....break 3/4" bolts...anyways, i would look for a good named used one anyday...just my personal preference though...also the tools make a difference as well...im all dotco and dynabrade, more power less air, less noise.....just my opinion though....

I like the Quincy also. I have looked at them, and for under 2k for the 80 gal. tank I don't think I would ever have a problem with any tools with it? One question I have is that my breaker box is full, no room for another breaker? What would I need to do to add another one with 220?

Quincy compressors are top notch! If you need and or want this or a comparable compressor....then you need to consult a licensed, qualified electrician to solve your dilemma.

i know where a 40 yr old 4 cyl recip quincy is with seperate 120 gal tank..probably go for 350-500 bucks...one of the best compressors EVER made...heads look like theyre off a diesel, infinitely rebuildable....only problem; its 3 phase and on 480 now and sitting in 2" of water, (not touching it though) it could be made to work in a homestead though....my dream one.....i do like my verticle puma, and supposedly its made in the US.....hhhhmmmmm or assembled most likely, but it was a floor model....425 bucks!! i like the verticle quincy too, although out of my budget...if you like working on stuff you could spend a quarter of that and end up with twice the capability....like you said some will run a body shop..and probably have...check HGR surplus...i didnt even see where you are....nevermind....good luck though

I'm with Brianna Beth on this one Ronnie. Although we could advise you, it's much better to consult and electrician.

As others have said, consult with an electrician to be safe. You may have the ability to have one circuit for two machines. My 220v welder and compressor are together. If I weld, the compressor is off, and vice-versa.

I'm kinda lucky with the electrician side. One of my life long friends is a certified electrician and has helped me many, many times. I will give him a shout and see what it involves.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
