Dave,

I have had an Ingersol Rand 80 gallon unit from Tractor supply for about 9 years. It works very well, I have no complaints. I bought the 5 HP unit single stage that has a rating of 18.5 CFM at 135 psig. It will handle anything you want to do. My opinion is that the 175 psi units take too much power to pump up to the higher pressure. The only thing that the 175 psi does is let the tank store more air so the compressor doesn't run as often. I have my output regulated to 100 psi or less. I paid $660 for this in 2003, I think it is $1100 now, which would be under $1000 with 10 % off.

Ken
