Couple of instances:
I remember playing cowboys and indians: Have a friend standing by with a lasso made from 1/4" Manila rope....type of rope is important so if you don't know what it is, look it up.

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
