    I'm a little concerned. My Monday load is some sort of latex/glue that requires both my pump & compressor to unload. This had better not setup in my pump when I'm done or I'm going to be super pissed.

    can you use both at the same time? Normally they have their own pump and their own air

    I was going to ask about this anyway, but now it seems like it has the potential for problems.

    He said he went the cheap route. How are most tank trucks set up? With the PTO running the air compressor and the pump is hydraulic or is there another way? I'm guessing you don't run dual PTO shafts, 1 for the pump, the other for the compressor.

    The shaft slides to change the length. It was 5800 for new compressor and pump company install with shaft system. To do hydraulic it's 10,000. So I get in the ground and switch the shaft to what I need.

    Edit 5800 includes used hose rack, and fitting box.

    Thank you for the explanation. For roughly $4200 difference, I think I would do the same thing. I'm just a door swinger who likes to learn and I had no idea those set ups were that expensive.
