I had tried pumping up a tire with it just to see how it worked and it seemed very slow. So I was thinking that if I had a air tank to hold a reserve amount in, then when I needed to pump a tire or blow something out I would have a supply. Maybe this is not a good idea. This is the first tractor that I've had with a compressor on it, so I really dont know. This is what we do with our big trucks though, that have air brakes. That's why I thought it would be good on the tractor. Thanks. juney

you must have about 1500 to 2000 rpm to get a good airsream when you pump a tire it will sure be an improvement

imho the air tank would not be worth the bother. The block heater is not absolutely nessesary, but I believe very worthwhile. I live in WY and it is much easier on the starter when it has been plugged in for 30 to 45 min. My tractor is stored in an unheated shop and the smoke from starting leaves a layer of soot on everything if I start it at 0 F without preheating. With preheating it starts with little wear on the starter and smokes very little before I can back it out. If we are expecting a big storm I it plug it in before I go to bed (and cover the hood/bonnet with an old blanket). If it has been plugged in for a couple of hours the engine only has to run for a couple of minutes before producing heat for the cab. This is very nice when it is in the -15F / -25C (?) range and the wind is blowing 45 mph. I think the block heater is thermostaticly controlled and having it out of the wind and covered helps cut down on electricity use. I seems to use less than a dollar's worth of electricty to have it plugged in for 24 hours.

Thanks guys ! Sounds like the air tank would be more trouble than its worth. I need to try it at the higher rpm's as it was just a little above idle when i tried it before. Another question for ya - Yesterday I was putting out a round bale and when I tried to go up on the pile in 6th gear (mine has 5 x 2 gearbox) the 4wd did not work. I had put it in 4wd earlier so I feel sure it had time to engage properly. I put it in low range (3rd gear) and it went right on up, 4wd working properly. My question is does the 4wd only work in low range ? Thanks, juney
