There is but one real God. You choose to call Him Allah. The problem is that Muhammad didn't have all the information available to us now. Do you take the writings of one man, or that of several witnesses?
A compressor increases pressure, accumulator(tank) increases volume. When you add more volume, you need to factor the load and the compressor used, the compressor may still not be able to keep up with the load, and the increase in load by having to maintain the additional volume. .
Adding a receiver at the far end makes more volume available. Large loads, like big impact guns or tire blasters, benefit for a short period of time, particlarly if the work is far from the compressor with a relatively small line.
I made a comment a few videos ago saying alot of us worry about you guys and hope for a good crop. Got some bad comments from some haters. I’m an old man and don’t want to listen to that crap. Still pulling for you guys but won’t be commenting anymore. Good Luck And God Bless!!
our shop has a 500 gallon propane tank outside the shop.. It has a 1/2 inch air hose hooked to it and comes thru the wall and hooks into the air line.. The longer a compressor runs and the less times it needs to start the longer the motor and head will last.. The air goes out and comes back in as needed.. It works fantastic
And your air smells of propane, forever . . . I converted an old pre-OPD BBQ tank to an air tank and now 10 years later that smell is still coming out of it!
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Your new air compressor is a dandy. Very nice machine. Glad you got all new lines and connections. Super setup now. The new system should serve the shop very well. Neat that you can combine Deere and Case data fields. That should be helpful regardless of that tractor you are in. Nice setup guys. Thanks for everything Chet. Thanks for showing us the new air system. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Ive watched this video about half a dozen times. The way Brodie turned his head and looked at eric when he said "ur not Chet" funny as heck ........... Brodie is the man 👍.
I've got an Atlas Copco 20 horse power scroll compressor with chiller and air dryer. It's probably cost a bit ore than what you paid for your piston compressor. I needed both pressure and volume for a sandblast cabinet, and the scroll is quiet and will run for thousands of hours. If you guys still have your old compressor, remove the electric motor and the compressor head and re-use the tank in the other shop. Adding tank capacity is a good way to make a lower horse power compressor do more with less. One thing I would add to your system are drip legs with a water separating filter. And yes, you'll still get moisture in the air as the air changes temperature along the way. Install the drip leg with filter just before the manifold with the quick connect fittings.
Hey Brody - hope you made some good progress on your storm clean up, rough stuff to go through and having things orderly and cleaned up again does wonders for the soul :)
When I rented my atuo repair shop in 1972 the compressor lines were inadequate, rusty steel. Replaced all with 1/2" schedule 40 pvc and got alot of nay-sayers that disagree. 2 inground car hoists, and hours of 1/2 impact wrenching,etc. New Champion 60 gal, 240v 2 stage in 1988, Standard 160 psi line pressure, and no rust, never had to repair, 41 years later sold out.
Chet if your having water issues in your compressor, we have a air dryer plumbed into the system. It cycles when needed and there is no water in the system. Not sure the cost but it’s well worth it
Oh boy, how we love deliveries of NEW stuff! Get Brody here now, he has that special CDL license that he paid for on some internet website for $10. How fortunate you have been that that old PVC pipe never cracked and exploded. God Bless new expensive and safe aluminum piping. So glad you also opted for full installation too! Hope they took the old one with them! And now we have tractors of different makes talking to each other - let's get some Boston Dynamics robots to do the farming. Great video as usual.
Just saw the Heelkit 3-wheeler in the shop. Man does that bring back some awesome memories. We had the three wheeler and mini-bike on the farm, growing up. Lots of fun and work with them.
That is a very nice and big air compressor. That should our last Chet for sure. That is amazing that John Deere and Case IH will talk to one another now. That is crazy cool.
Worked in a shop that had the blue/aluminum pipe installed owner was trying to save money and had the drops made with 1/2" pipe would not let enough air flow for the 3/4 and 1 inch impacts to run so cost him to have them come out and install 1 inch between every other door big 14 bay JD dealership nice little setup you have now
Make a Sound Blocker from mezzanine to the floor and lined with acoustic tiles or sound absorbing foam pads, leave lots of vents around the sides and hinged to check the oil and belts.
Good Day Everybody! I was wondering if you could change your Opening Introduction View of the Farm Operation to a Summer Scene and get rid of the Winter Snow then in Winter you can use it again. Otherwise I really enjoy you all doing the Farm Operations. 👍
Do yourself a favor and get an hour meter added to the compressor so you can keep track for oil changes, and an auto drain is nice so you can't forget to drain the water and end up with water in the lines 👍
When i was in the market for a compressor look at many too but one always checked all of my questions i asked for an INGERSOLL RAND AIR COMPRESSOR, ROTARY SCREW, HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH EFFICIENCY, W/DRYER, 150 PSI, 575 V, 10 HP land up have 2 of them put into they did the piping as well so we had one couple fault on use i have the repair kit for it hand too not long to hand it fixed too they come out to the farm here to service them too
Yes Doug you can put an auxiliary tank in the shop I have mine set up then I took 22 inch bong out and then ran 3 ft of 2in pipe out of it into an air dryer filter and then to a hose constant pressure all day long a 30 gallon air compressor with a 40 gallon tank in the shop
Hey its so hot in north texas Aug 17 only 113 today same for sat n Sunday I cannot even grown weeds on the plowed fields Hope doug O enjoys the new air compressor they probably sell extra tanks n put one in the other shop n have a bunch more hot air in there glad the crops are looking good
I'm surprised you guys didn't opt for a screw compressor; those old reciprocators are pretty much consigned to hobby use over here. Screws are much more efficient, reliable, and tons quieter. You should look at an air drier as well, either refrigerated or dessicant, to protect your system and tool, etc..
Add the tank, you'll love the added supply!! We have a 46cfm rotary unit, and 120 gallon extra tank. 240 gallons total supply, and never loose pressure! You would love it with the large impact guns, and the huge tires you have!
It is interesting to hear you are going to use Case for your electronic equipment. My niece is married to a man who works for Case doing the computer side of farming. His name is Tahd McGinnis. You may have dealt with him. Glad to see you have a new compressor - that should last for many years. Thanks for the video.
Good info as I’ve been wanting to run some piping for my small shop and compressor. I see folks commenting on pvc but this was acceptable by OSHA prior to 1988 (after their old system install). After watching I just gonna get a big real with long hose since I don’t have a shop that’s the size of a Walmart like the Larson farm needs. Kinda like we learned that having kiddos sleep on rear car window deck wasn’t a good idea.
Chet Dougo Eric Broodie that was so great really enjoyed it and great explanations on the air compresser and the case up date compatible with John Deere thank you.
I can tell you first hand the aluminum air line is a great choice, easy to install and never rusts. I have played a part in getting this in 3 of our service buildings and some of our installs we float the main line and on occasion get a leak. Great looking compressor your intercooler should work fairly well but if you do get water add a air dryer to your system that will stop any water problems. Be sure to build a bypass between the compressor and dryer in case you need to work on the dryer. Great system you will be happy you did this.
@@agentcrmyou said it one thing ford forgets to mention on advertisements of all aluminum body. Salt will rot that sucker out faster then steel will rust. Just a sales pitch for tricking people.
Brody is one hell of a hired hand. I think the farm should get him a nice pickup truck. People like Brody are hard to come by. Plus its a write off for the farm. Hope you give it a thought Chet.
I got you beat on the age of the air compressor. I bought mine in my 20s and I am now in my late 70s. It has a full metal engine. Drain it every year. Kept the oil changed and air filter lightly oiled according to the manual. And yes I have the manual. Of course I don’t need a more powerful compressor.
drain it every year? Depending on where you are ( humidity) sometimes they need drained daily. I would do ours maybe once every 2 months and it wasn't unusual to get a 20L ( 5 gal) or water out of the bottom. We plumbed all our lines so they would drain moisture back towards the tank, any T's in the lines had drains on the bottom. Rarely had moisture at the tools, even ran a plasma cutter with no issues.
Should have bought a rotory screw compressor. Much higher output per HP. A 10HP will make the same air as a 20 HP piston pump. Would have been perfect for your shop. Ultra quiet. In the industrial facility I managed we had two 150HP and one 200HP Quincy compressors. Now that is one whole lot of CFM. We reclaimed the heat off the compressors and could heat the 160,000 sq ft building they were in. We ran them 24/7 for our production.
Even though clearance is close, I wonder how much it might help add sound-deadening material on three/four sides up the near motor and compressor? (like foam egg-carton, or something better or thinner) Would have liked to see the 360 clamp the guy was talking about to join the aluminum line. Great video, thank you!
Funny, eric asks the man Brodie if he has a CDL...... Brodie is a jack of all trades and a master at what he does. If every farmer had a hired hand as skillful as Brodie, there would be alot more happier farmers out here. As far as the air compressor, go big or stay on the porch. I remember many videos back of when Dougo was having a CHOICE conversation with the old one. Glad to see the upgrade.
"jack of all trades and a master at what he does". I'll be using that when I go for my pay raise. That's gotta be worth more than jack of all trades and a master of none.
FYI - the last Pro 1200 that loaded boundaries, guidance lines and seeding scripts to thru a usb shows that it was there but didn't work - all of it has to come thru the Case IH cloud into the monitor in order to work.
If you are NOT a farmer/rancher and you want to drive a big truck you have to have a CDL (Commercial Driver's License). If you are a farmerrancher you can legually drive a 150 mile radius of your farm.
Definitely install a big air tank in the other shop since your not running a rotary screw compressor. You’ll have a larger volume of air for your bigger jobs and you can run air sources outside and even to your grain bin site.
That’s what we did when when we built and combined our various buildings into one large building . The way the building is designed we have a pair of 50’ over hangs in the middle. Next to the main shop and just outside of the tire shop we put a large screw compressor in a insulated room. Never wait for air, and no air shortages. The only problem the switch is in the tire shop and they don’t usually work weekends
@@caseycouch1660 yeah when you have a shop of that size with equipment of that size it’s much better to have the volume and the recovery speed of a screw compressor. That’s the way my dads oil field manufacturing business was setup and we were never short on our air supply. We had 160 psi available if needed on special runs for when you really need that extra push.
Never use Plastic pipe for air lines!! they have a exotic plastic Pipe you can use safely, but it's meant for refineries and corrosive atmosphere, which makes it super expensive. Best for a farm is brazed heavy Copper lines, and well supported against vibration cracking.
PVC is also not in any fire code. In the event of a fire the pipe melts and the compressor fans the fire even more. Edit; Well done on the new upgrades. Second Edit; I’m not commenting about any OSHA, FJB , stuff. Just saying PVC may work but isn’t safe. Same as the video says.
That “man basket” (balancing on the forklift) as it was referred to I’m certain has an official OSHA Okee Dokee 👍🏻 I’m kinda amazed that the compressor company allowed their employees to use that.
@@alanbierhoff6831well the at least had plywood down and we’re on a stable surface without the mast maxed out it could’ve been significantly more dangerous than it was
Poly waterpipe is rated for the pressure, and the oil, thats the best stuff to use, iv got 2in line run everywhere, and it's cheap at about $2 a metre I don't even have an air tank, big dia line gets me 1800lts of storage or about 400 gallons Around the shop and under ground to surrounding buildings I'm guessing you've not looked at copper prices lately though, it's shockingly expensive
Chet I really hate to ask this question, maybe I missed an episode but I just noticed where is the little beagle of yours? I hope he is still with us, please let me know if you will, and I really am sorry and hoping to hear good news,,,
Yes, putting a receiver (air tank) at the other end of the line will noticeably increase the pressure and volume available. Good job for the old tank.

also put a water filter right after the output of compressor so it traps the water before u get to the hose
There is a BLUE ONE. I think it's a GREAT BEGINING.

they make a rubber material pad that you can put under the feet works great to reduce the vibration from compressor to the concrete
Yes, a pony receiver tank in the shop will increase the capacity of the air supply. 5:43
You should daisy chain your old air tank to your new because volume is more important than pressure!!

Should have checked about an air dryer on the compressor, we put a truck air dryer on the one at the shop I worked at
thanks
I might not be a bad idea to put a hour meter on the air compressor so you can tell when it time to change the oil.
Size matters some places. 🤔😳 But adding a auxiliary tank at the end of the line ( hooked up in series) works volumes in the air delivery bussiness
@renal-dr7st I don’t put my trust in any religious figure . Knowledge skills and a will to do the best I can is my guiding direction!!!!
Chet I really hate to ask this question, maybe I missed an episode but I just noticed where is the little beagle of yours? I hope he is still with us, please let me know if you will, and I really am sorry and hoping to hear good news,,,
That is a nice air compressor and system. Cool video 👍❤️
Merlin should be happy. He said get a new one and you did.
Why did they do a bottom drop on the hose reel. You had it correct when you had the PVC installed. DIRT AND WATER love down taps.
Have you tried an ozone generator in your cabs to get rid of odors?
Blue is the international color for compressed air...
