Use large construction project controls, real easy, get the specified shingle product data, and or have the specified material called for in the contract, in CLEAR language, and be there when the material is delivered to inspect that it is the specified material. If anything other than what is called for in the contract arrives or is installed, REJECT the material. If anything than the specified material is installed, reject that material and make sure the contract states that the contractor is 100% liable. A properly written contract/proposal should easily protect your interest. Given its a narrow scope job, get product data on all materials to be installed, have that information submitted by the contractor, and only approve of same. Contract should read that payment for material and installation is subject to approval of material when delivered and installed, any reputable outfit will not have a problem with this, others may walk. YOu can't write a contract so tight that a contractor won't do the job, but both you interests should be covered, and NEVER pay a dime up front, NEVER, that is the only leverage you have. You can however pay for acceptable materials once delivered, that is helpful to small outfit, and will keep them honest, they deliver the wrong material, they own it not you. You could also make arrangements for the material to be delivered yourself and assign it to the contractor to install, with the same provisions, or any reasonable thereof. Scope of work is important, dot your I's and cross your T's, inspect your expect. Another word of advice, BE THERE, when the work is commenced, until its finished, you never let a contractor work without them knowing someone is watching, it may sound harsh, but thats the game you play if you want things done right with contractors, not all are incompetent or thieves, that is for sure, but if you have any doubt, be there, its your dime, and its your fault if it does not go as you expect, I've seen it so many times with residential jobs, people get taken because they don't play hardball with these guys.

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
