Roundup is one of the most benign herbicides you could possibly use in terms of acute health effects. It's basically just a simple salt formulation. In terms of LD50 values for acute toxicity it ranks right up there with table salt and coffee. IIRC, the LD50 is higher for glyphosate than it is for both of those substances that most of us ingest every single day. What are the long term effects of glyphosate?

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
