Hydraulic Powered Air Compressor

Hydraulic powered air compressor FARM SHOP Maintenance 15-1-29 Well-known hydraulic-system consultants Kanamak Hydraulics of Garden City, Kan., says its new portable hydraulic-powered air compressor is much easier to handle and more trouble-free than standard gas engine portable compressors. The new compressor is perfect for powering hand tools and will operate up to a 3/ 4-in. impact wrench, according to company representative Randy Friesen. The unit is compact - weighs only 98 lbs. Requires a hydraulic flow of 4 to 8 gpm and has hydraulic safety valves to prevent overspeeding or reverse operation. The twin cylinder compressor is belt-driven by a gear-type hydraulic motor. Puts out 8.4 cfm at 90 psi. A hose rack holds 12-ft. of 1/2-in. hydraulic hose plus 35 ft. of 3/8-in. air hose. Optional brackets mount the unit on a tractor 3-pt. Larger compressors also avail-able. Sells for $725. For more information, contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Kanamak Hydraulics, P.O. Box 575, Garden City, Kan. 67846 (ph 800 473-5843 or 316 275-6055).
