Campbell hausfeld farmhand compressor?

[gearhead9056]

Does anyone know much about the farmhand compressors. I found this one locally on CL and I see the pump says USA on the side. Any experiences, or if anyone knows any info on it would be great thanks.

They are a pretty solid compressor. I had one like that (extreme duty IIRC) before I got the setup I have now. 7hp They are the standard 10cfm @90psi 60gal vertical 220v job. Unless that thing is super clean and very low hours I think the price is a bit high.

I believe the Farmhand brand was made for Tractor Supply Company. Campbell made Speedaire brand for Grainger, Husky for Home Depot, etc.
CH are good units, and the company stands behind them.

After what just happened you are buying used? I guess I'm just teasing a bit because it does look pretty new. However, you have to ask yourself why he is selling. They are only 100 bucks more new at TS.

More curious about the pump then the rest really since it says USA on it I was wondering if I was missing something but anything I've seen it seems pretty similar to the 3.2 hp 60 gallon they sell

IIRC the cylinders are sleeved. They use a common reed valve design. It is a very good unit for the average home user. I think that is a bit better than the common tractor supply version. They made two different styles of that setup the older ones had a longer base plate compared to the newer ones. Also that ones looks to have a nicer belt guard, expanded metal vs the more common plastic shroud. I THINK that model is the same as the older extreme duty which also had a USA made pump.

Call the seller and ask for a model number so you can get the hard specs to compare apples to apples. Seeing as how it has been a listed for a while they may be willing to drop a bit.

I have a 80 gal version of that same one. No real complaints. But do plan on tossing a larger pump on it because i do so much blasting.
