Yea ya see a lot of that. As for myself Ain't no way i would pull much more then a 16 foot boat with a half ton. at one time i pulled a small 310 G case dozer with a 3/4 ton ford on a tri axle trailer that was more or less a bumper pull ( pintel hitch) , i learned a lot with that one (1) truck not big enough even with a 390 4 bbl . 4 speed with 4.10 gears and detroit locker . good brakes on trailer . electric brakes DO fail and truck does not have enough brakes to stop everything. Moved up to gooseneck much better handling But still electric brakes and again IF a magnet shorts out truck still does not have enough brakes. Moved up to a one ton with bigger brakes and dual rear wheels much better handling and a lot heavier tow vehicle . Ya probably got the idea that i do not trust electric brakes. I have had to many failures with them . Had a brake failure on my tandem dual one time a long way from home where on magnet shorted and with the short none of the other three worked . Found the short but could not find parts so cut the bad one out of the system . Well on the way home as i was going thru In. i lots everything , i was close to Elkhart and i went wright to Dexter just to get the parts i needed . Nice people there when they found out that i had a major problem they had me pull the truck and trailer and load into there service dept. and THEY pulled the wheels and drums off and replaced all the magnets and wiring . AT NO CHARGE and all i wanted was to buy new magnets . But i learned something and this come from there head man that the electric brake was not designed to STOP YOU it was designed to slow you down and that YOUR TRUCK BRAKES were what was suppose to STOP you. Back then he told me that if i wanted a trailer brake system that WAS designed to stop you then i should upgrade my trailer to Vac/ hyd. brakes or AIR .

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
