got a neighbor that has been pretty underhanded since I've got here. Nothing really bad, just little stuff like calling the cops when mud fell out of my fenderwell on the side of the street, dogs barked a little, or just whenever he felt like complaining............... Got a storm on the way and he's got hay down and asked me to run thru and bale his when I do mine tomorrow (50 ft away).... Was so shocked that he'd even have the balls to ask that I just said OK, buck a bale..... He jumped on it and was fine til he made a couple calls then called me and said he found someone else that was cheaper and he didn't need me...... There are 3 balers in the area. His someone else's baler is broke and they asked to borrow mine.....
Told them where they could borrow a forage wagon....
I like my people skills...............
They "borrowed" a baler from an old guy in the next town (he's been in the hospital for several weeks, they just went in the barn and got it...
Neither knew how to use it and went off what someone showed them quick which is usually enough. Baled real nice about 3 bales and picked up about an armsize chunk of wood that sheared the pins.....Put something in there and started again and picked up another limb. Somehow a needle got broke..... Son and dad went to the house (knew I was at work) and told the wife that if I baled the hay tonight, I could have it....She said I was at work and they asked her if they could borrow my baler. She told them no and they said I wasn't there to use it and asked her why they couldn't have it.. I got perfect people skills compared to her.... She told them to get off the property and the old man told the boythat they'd just go get it and tell me tomorrow...... She called the kid that fixes my stuff and got his dad on the phone... He'll take care of it but I guess I'll be visiting tomorrow......
People are unbelievable.....
These folks are out there....... They live in the middle of town and the old man keeps two sheep that he walks like dogs, has them house trained and they stay in the garage or come in the house as they wish....

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. 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
