I have just this winter started feeding some of mine with a bucket. Saved my butt the other day when I tried to pull off 5 cows and calves from the 2 that haven't calved yet. Those 2 first time heifers followed the bucket back to the lot they were in after I let them all out to the other side so I could get things "OUT" of the barn yard the calves were born in. Sometimes you have to be smarter than they are.
I rotation graze my 20 cows and calves, and regularly (3-4 times a year) have to move them across a county road to the 20 acres pasture on the other side. I also have 4 other areas on this side of the road that I use in the rotation.
Well it takes no more than 2-3 minutes to move them from one area to the other.....they soon learn that the grass is really, "greener on the other side of the fence". All I have to do is start the Gator and I will have there full attention from anywhere on the farm if they are within earshot. And if that Gator moves towards a gate, they will be there in short order wanting to go to the other side.
Once in the new pasture, they are quiet as a mouse, but let that grass get ate down to a certain point and they will let me know it's time to move...some days I'd like to cut the vocal cords right out of them, lol.

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
