new vs. used
(OP)
We are adding to our facilities and need to install a complete new compressed air and hydraulic system and (of course) our budget is very small. What are the dis/advantages over new and old compressors and hyd pumps?

However, the price of older gear should be alot less to reflect the amount it has been used. But again, everyone has a reason for getting rid of their old equipment.
You are more than likely going to hae to spend more over the long run to maintain a used, older compressor than a new one, which will come with some form of warranty from the manufacturer.

I worked in maintenance for a number of years, and have an intense hatred for used equipment. The guy who buys it is rarely the one that gets saddled with it.
