Just remember, everything has it's uses, and will work properly according to conditions, and purpose. AC buzzboxes work just fine as long as you match the rods to the job. Do your homework when buying rods. AC/DC machines are even better if you have the extra money when buying. Wire feed welders are not all made equal, and again, money will buy you happiness if you have it. Prepare your areas to be welded properly is #1. Match your rod or wire to the metal to be welded.

You may be looking at repairing material that can only be done with Tig, and that's another story altogether.

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
