I gave away a nice industrial job made in Ohio a few years ago that had a hundred gallon tank, and two heads powered by a couple of 1 HP motors that were 208 three phase. The thing was huge and I offered it to several shops, for free but they didn't want it. I got it for free after jokingly asking if I could have it after seeing it on the 40th machine floor in a Chicago office high rise. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange bought it because someone got the idea that they could clean the trading floor faster with it than sweeping. So they bought the thing for Im sure major $$$, put it on a couple of dollies and gave it a shot one night. Not only did it blow the papers and stuff off of the floor into a pile as planned, it blew everything, and I mean everything off of the desks for the brokers as well. It was a disaster and they never used it again on anything, ever. They just freight elevatored it up to the 40th machine floor, took it off of the dollies that they used for something else and stuck it in some corner until I saw it and jokingly asked if I could have it. Then they kept asking me when I was going to pick it up and get it out of their hair. One Saturday I showed up at the loading dock to pick it up, but didn't remember it being as big as it was. It took eight of us to muscle it into the back of my pickup and it took up the whole bed. That thing was huge. When I got it home, it took about eight neighbor guys to help me get it off and slide it into the corner of my garage where it sat for years until I couldn't stand it taking up the space. Again, I offered it to garages and factories for free so long as they would pick it up, but no one wanted it, especially after they came over an saw how big it was. Finally, I jacked its ends up, put huge industrial rollers under its legs, rolled it down the drive to the street and put a sign on it that said "Free to a good home, but if you take it, do not bring it back". Pickup truck after pickup truck drove up to look at it, several guys telling me to hold it until they came back with help to lift it, and I told them all that the first guys to get it gone, owned it, I didn't care who it was, and I wasn't holding it for anyone. Guys in one pickup actually got into a fight with guys in another pickup. It HAD two heads with two motors wired for 208. It was too industrial everything for any home or garage, and maybe most barns.
Your 60 or so gallon compressor is much bigger than the 11 gallon one I have these days, but mine works ok for now. Much good luck with yours. Use it in great health.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
