After renting a 100 CFM compressor for the last three years, I am looking to purchase a compressor that is versitale, portable, and reliable, without spending 8K.

My question is: what brand, HP, CFM, and capacity do you use and/or own?

If you would like to reach me directly with comments or responses, please send to my screen name here on lawnsite @caryturf.com

Thanks in advance. jasond

Thanks...but could someone please comment on their experiences with an affordable compressor (brand/model) that is capable of 100 CFM?

MIght not get many comments becasue many use larger than 100 cfm. I rent 185 cfm Ingersol Rands and use them for all size systems and even put 2 compressors on the very largest systems.
