5hp is good. You'll need that much if you ever plan to paint with it or use a sand blaster. "Oilless" means that the compressor does not use an oil bath to lubricate itself and you will not have unwanted oil vapor getting into your air. You may want an automatic oiler, that adds oil to the air, for your tools but can be removed for painting. You will want a water separator too. My most useful air tools are my cheap air chisel, my pneumatic grease gun and my more expensive impact wrench. Since you will likely use your impact wrench most, spend more money and get something that will last and work well for you. Tools that get used less can be lesser quality, like some of those I buy at Harbor Freight. If you use Calcium in your tractor tires, get an air pressure guage that's set up for calcium filled tires or you will throw away a tire guage every time you use it once. AIR HOSE - Look at the hose you plan to buy. It should be real easy to work with. The cheaper ones are stiff and constantly get in your way when you're working. Rubber air lines are much easier to work around. Put quick disconnects on your compressor, each end of your hose and tools. There are a few different styles so make sure you get the same style for everything. Good luck. You are about to ask yourself why you ever used hand tools in the past.
