You cannot look solely rates these offers based on pay. Here are just a few things I would consider:
- Are the jobs salary pay, or hourly. - If hourly, any overtime. Do you want OT, or do you want weekends free for farming/family? You can get into a job where you are working so much OT that you'll get burnt out. - What is the financial health of these companies? Doesn't matter if they have been around for 100 years, they could be bought out. Private, public, or family run. Family run can lead to problems, if your last name is different. Competitors of these companies. Are these businesses viewed as a good place to work, or is everyone looking to escape, and they are now offering you money to hire in there, since all the talent has exited.
- Health care contributions, retirement contributions, pension, eye care, dental etc. They should present you with a package (pay, health benefits, retirement, and what you are responsible for financially).
- Out of pocket health care can eat away at your "better" pay real quick, versus a company that pays a little less and offers insurance.
Are you single, and want to gamble for a few years making more money? Or do you need a steady income to provide for a family?
I would research anyone offering you a job, just like they did a background check on you. Careers are a two-way street.
It is ok to call the companies, if you have questions on details of their offers to you. They obviously want to hire you or else they would not have extended an offer to you.
Sorry, might be a little long winded, but you're dealing with your future, not a used car purchase.

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
