Easy, I can get hi density R15 fiberglass that fits in 2x4 walls from an insulation company in TH. Then before you put up the drywall install 3/4 inch celetex tuff R, R 4.7 some say R5. It's extruded urathane with aluminum on both sides to block heat losses due to radiation. It works. The hi density fiberglass + tuff R is cheaper than using 2x6 construction and R19 insulation.
The insulation company in TH recommended I unsulate this way in 1985. It works, no issues. The people who rent the first house I did love their cheap electric bills using simple, cheap, reliable electric baseboard heat.

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
