They say it appeared the combine ran a stop sign, it is possible that the combine stopped at the stop sign then went to cross and before he made it all the way across the car got there? Still a fail to yield situation but if there was a curve or obstructed view and maybe the van was speeding it might not be so clear. Not trying to absolve the combine operator in this tragedy but we're looking to hang him without knowing all the facts. I know the company I used to work for got beat up pretty bad about a fatal accident involving one of our trucks. A 75 year old women decided she'd rather pass a group of cars waiting for the lead car to make a left turn and face our truck head on rather than wait for traffic to clear. Our driver took the ditch and she hit the truck under the driver's door. Had her car had functional seat belts and had she been wearing them she might of lived. The company wrote off the repairs on the truck (almost $7,000), far as I knew the owners were of the opinion that if the estate didn't sue them they wouldn't sue the estate and still people beat us up. We had a bad accident up here a few years ago, a father with his 3 teenage daughters and a son in a little Kia sedan "ran a stop sign" and they were killed when the car got hit by a pick-up truck. Case closed? The pickup truck driver was drunk and doing 70 MPH or more in a 45MPH zone, it was dark and he didn't have the truck headlights on, oh yes and his license was revoked (DUI).

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
