    Unloading 4 post lift with a cherry picker

    Not going to happen with a cherry picker. You'd be better off backing a pickup truck end to end with the tractor trailer, push/slide the lift into the pickup bed, then drive away.

    Anyone using their 2 post lift for their Zero Turn Mower?

    We made some brackets to fit into the lift arm holes. It gives you a tray to put each wheel in. Works great!

    Spray foam kits?

    I would highly recommend getting some estimates from a local spray foam expert first. When you realize how many kits you'll need to do your shop, then how easy it is to mess it up the first few times so you'll have to buy extra kits, you'll see it is usually cheaper to have an expert do it.

    Compression - Show Off Your Compressor

    Basically yes. More air crammed into the same space. I would go for the Ingersol personally, but dont think either one is bad. Technically the Kobalt moves more air, probably just turning the compressor faster to do it though.
