Just don't get one of those $70 Repco ones :wink:

This one is fan cooled and will inflate a tractor tyre in 10 minutes.... the key is fan cooled not air cooled. Air cooled ones are no good for doing 'my' tyres

Repco sell one for $99 which I think is fan cooled although don't quote me - its too dark to go out and check right now

... I've used it on my Simexes a few times now and its quick, quiet and has rubber feet so it doesn't leap around all over the place - they have them on special every now and then but I can sell them on at $88 if anyone is interested.

I've had a chat with a few people including a guy from Genie4x4 and problem is the pressures I'm using to avoid wear on the outside of my muds...

I've been doing alot of reasearch and the repco ones won't do, even the F1 or F2 compressors from fully equipped (I think) wont do the job either. But this one from the US will.... am waiting to here back from an aussie supplier, but I doubt it'll be here by friday

Back windows are made now... just need a clear day to glue them in...

PS: I owe u for that one DB

I seriously reckon it would have done it with my tyres as well at some stage in the future. :lol:

So you've done away with the glass and turned panel van on us??? :shock:

Just bought a BushMaster pro compressor thing... will let you know how it does...

it's fan cooled, and has a duty cycle of 300 hours.... so should be ok....

Repco Trade Girl .... $89 Trade ....

Will be testing it tonight by dropping my pressures to 20psi and then back up to 70 on all four tyres.... that should cook it
