I don"t know where you live but I can tell you how it happens here.
Here in Montana they "sand" the roads in the winter when it"s snow packed . They define "sand "as anything less than 1/4" rock particles. I can assure you that rocks > 1/4" make it through the screens. The roads here, as you might imagine, are not bumper to bumper with cars. However people will pass you and then cut right in front of you like they are diving on the frewway during rush hour. The result is gravel spray all along the leading edges of the vehicle as well as chipped and broken windshields. Our Subaru has about 5 chips on the windshield and a full width crack. No sense replacing it til Spring because it will just get dinged up or broken again.
If people would just stay in the passing lane fOr a few more car lengths before they cut in , the damage would be minimal. Buu if "if and buts were candy and nuts, it"s be Christmas everyday"! We have a plastic deflector on the hood leading edge and that prevents a lot of damage to that component and probably keeps some debris from hitting the widshield . But it doesn"t get it all. And the bumpers are all pitted as you describe.

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
