I use both. We had a long nose KW that was built for hauling steel. It had a 240" wheel base. Every time I had to reposition it that old song came to mind, "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around" But we had the standard 9"X 20" West Coast with the two convex mirrors, one at the bottom of the mirror, and a separate slightly larger round one focused more to the side and low so I could see any four wheelers that decided to hide in the blind spot and if you were riding shot gun you could see all the tires on the right side with it. When I had to back into a tight spot, I would make visual land marks and even when at a pretty tight angle I could see and I knew how close I was to those spots. Didnt matter if I was using the convex or the regular mirrors. I had been pulling a 40' for a year or so and dad and I decided to sell it and get two other trailers. We picked up a 45' 4 axle lowboy with a jeep and a 53 foot soft side. Now you want something to drive you nuts, try backing that soft side up when its been opened and the drapes are blowing around. I dont care what kind of mirror you have, you better have a spotter or your going to end up parking on top of something you dont want and will end up paying for anyway. I just honestly think that its what you get used to and how much you are exposed to it. By the way, I hate pulling 35' triplets. Give me trip 53s anytime. More weight more axles and more stable.

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
