I don't know what kind of trailer you have, but I have a 16' tandem with 3500# axles. I used to run take-offs from my truck which were radials and when loaded up the sidewall flex was excessive. Other thing was sway, like mush back there. And turning a reasonable corner you just watched in the rv mirror for when, not if, the tires would be stripped from the rim.
Went to my "have all" tire store and found some import 8 ply bias tubeless. Shield brand. I just bought the tires and took them home and mounted myself. Priced right. That was about 8 years ago and they are the right answer. What's interesting is that upon close inspection I can't find any weather cracking in the sidewall nor the tread area in all that time.

I have a pair of Shield ST radials on my boat trailer of the same general vintage and no cracks on them either. I do keep it in the shop out of the weather. Interesting in that usually when a trailer sits a lot, as mine do, you expect cracking as you aren't working the plasticizers to the surface which keep the surface rubber pliable, hence no cracking.

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
