I got an old Aquilon 6 foot blower this fall and have been running it with a MF 35 which has 2 speed reverse. It does very well and will throw powdery snow 30 feet or so, how far it goes depends a lot on how much snow is coming through it at the time and the speed it is turning. With the blower I have been able to keep the sawmill open all winter which has never happened before. When it gets warm and the snow slides off the roof and piles up in front of the mill I go out and blow it up onto the snowbank. It will handle wet snow, just have to be careful not to overfill it or it will plug. If it plugs I shut it down and take a hand weed whacker (the kind with the springy blade) and poke the snow back down out of the chute into the impeller. I plugged it a few times right at first, but I've gotten better at reading it. It will cut through an established snow bank along the road, the highest I have gone through is 4 feet high. It takes a few back and forth maneuvers to get through, but it has no problem with it. A double auger machine on a bigger tractor would be able to go through in one pass. I have not yet tried it on the Farmall 300 which has more power but a higher reverse. The other nice thing has been that with this snowblower being here I didn't have to get the loader onto the Farmall, so now I can use it for skidding logs as soon as it warms up again. Zach

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. 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. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
