I am fixin' to buy a paint sprayer. I have a couple of tractors to paint. So, I wanna do a good job on them.

I have seen 4 types: an airless (Wagner) and 3 air compressor types, gravity feed, pressure feed and siphon feed.

I had a Wagner airless years ago and it didn't operate very well at all... spit and splattered. Maybe they've made them better since I owned one.

So, wadda y'all think about the choices? What are your experiences? Do I need a moisture filter with the air compressor types? Tips on usage?

Thanks in advance!
Patrick

Get a Sata, Binks or Devillbiss sprayer.

I think nearly all people will tell you to forget the airless, it's simply not an automotive sprayer, houses, yes. Pressure feed allows you to spray at all angles, plus with a pressure pot it holds more paint. I personally can't tell you much about it as I haven't used it. As to the other two, beginning painters are better off with HVLP gravity feed. Some experienced painters don't like HVLP, because it requires a different technique than conventional (siphon feed)--and will tell beginning painters to use conventional -- there is room for difference of opinion. Your choice. You need a GOOD moisture filter as far away from the compressor as you can get it -- otherwise you are guaranteed to get water in your paint. Be sure you have a big enough compressor for the gun. Some HVLP guns require 12-13 cfm at 40-50 psi -- a small compressor will not have that output.
