[AT] PTO compressors

[Cecil R Bearden]

About 8 years ago I was at a farm/estate sale and there was a PTO 
compressor on a frame that fastened to the 3pt hitch of the tractor.  
this compressor ran an assortment of air arborist tools.  Most of the 
tools were pruners.  I believe there was an air powered chainsaw.  The 
compressor brought over $700, so I did not come home with it.
