Shouldn't need a huge compressor. 20 gallon should do. Don't think the little pancake compressors would cut it but shouldn't need a bodyshop type either.

Is there a way to cap off all but the last sprinkler head in each run? If yes it won't take very much air at all, just enough to fill the lines.

I do something very similar with my crop sprayer at the end of season. Doesn't take very much air to blow out the lines but once the water is out a 5 horse 80 gallon can't keep up.

Nother suggestion, get a regulator, will allow to blow out lines at 40 and also have the reserve of a tank pressurized to 120 or 175 depending.
