For 37 plus years I heard how much better the other brands were from various customers. I always told those who asked that I could tell them a lot more things wrong with the IH tractors than they could because I was the one doing the repairs on them. When Case came on board, same thing, well I soon found out about their problems and inconveniences. Then I worked for Deere dealer for last four years. Even worked on them old two bangers. I learned a quite a lot about them in those four years. Sure they are a good machine over all. But don't tell me they don't have the exact same kind of production problems, goof ups, field changes. I don't buy it. Biggest difference I noticed was the green owners sucked it up, paid the bill and said, good tractor. The red guys were not so forgiving. It has changed a whole lot in the last few years though and they go through service managers like chocolate candy because of customers constant bickering about problems. It all boils down to what you like. I would never sell a red tractor to a died in the wool green guy or vise versa. Does not lead to happy customer. Now, as far as jumpy clutch on the IH 86 series, if you put the latest clutch linkage package on there it usually takes care of the problem if cab mounts are good. Original linkage attached to clutch housing was not good. When it comes to all the complaints about hydraulic levers etc. I think the Deere were the worst ones. Hard to feather a load with them. And unhandy for me. Really good money maker for shop repairing the scv though. Better quit.

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
