Can tell you a story about porcupines. They are tough, tough critters! I bought my first piece of land in 1987. A 40, all woods. I was enthralled with it. Then I noticed something was eating all the bark off the tops of my oak trees. Killing them right and left. I called the DNR and asked them about it and they said that while porcupines were somewhat protected in MN there was a huge over population of them that year and to just quietly do the SSS on a few of them. So I took out several of them with my .38 One day I went up to my land and there was one in an oak tree right in the clearing I had made for a cabin. But I had forgot to bring the .38 So I climbed up the tree - about 30' up and shook the porky out of the limb he was on. He bounced about 5' when he hit the ground. Then immediately climbed up another tree - before I could get back down the ground. So I shinnied up that tree and shook him out of it and he bounced again and went right back up another tree - before I could get down. So I climbed that tree and shook him out. This time I almost got down before he could climb another as he was slowing down. But so was I. He still beat me up the tree before I could get him. I was about tuckered out from climbing but my adrenaline was pumping so I went on up and shook him out again. This time I got back down before he could climb again and took him out with a club. Whew. I was completely worn out. No way I could have climbed another tree.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
