Well I am heavily invested in land. I do have money in several 401Ks also. The 401K are doing fine. I do not even listen to the stock market. Your 401K investment is for the long term. So unless you happen to retire at a low you will do fine over time. There is no sure way to make your money work for you.
I pulled all my non 401K money out of the stock market in 2004. It was kind of planned but just luck as to the timing. I bought land. I was told I was crazy for paying what I did for the land but ground next door will only sell once in the years I have left.
This land is earning me about 6-7% on my original investment. That is just on annual return without considering the cash value raise.

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
