    I have 2 air connections on my tractor, section of hose takes up less space, and gives me the ability to run a 1/2” impact that I carry as well.

    Be interesting though to see the time frame for one of those units to inflate a 24.5 tire….

    Whats psi on a truk tire ? I think you'd be taxing the #### out of of it over 80psi .

    I have done lots of tires with compressors like that. The tank is what helps with the volume. Get a 1/2 dia. Hose and use 3/8 fittings and that will give you more volume.

    One thing you may need to do if it gets to a point were it equaliZes with the tire psi is pull it off valve stem and put a air sprayer gun on it. Pull the trigger to let psi drop in tank to kick comp back on and while it is building psi inflate tire to final psi. Dont wait until it kicks off.
