Its been a wet cold spring this year that's for sure, The ground got dry enough to get a crossed to work it for the first time. It's still early to plant beans and I'm in no hurry to plant. This ground is funky to say the least, In the fall you have to disc the ground lightly (just enough to cover the soybean stubble) or come spring with the trash covering the ground it will not dry out at all. So yesterday I hooked my Oliver 1550 up to the 10ft 3pt field cuilt and hooked the section harrow to it and headed to the field. Some of it broke up good and some broke into chunks that will brake up when it get a rain on it tonight or this weekend. The funny thing about this ground is it very rarely brakes up like normal ground, It more or less shatters into little flakes type klinkers (for the lack of better terms) and makes wonderfull marble and golf ball sized clods till it gets a rain on it and it mellows out. Anyway the Oliver 1550 diesel just purred along pulling it however she did some barking in a couple spots in the field ware it was real hard. I hit it twice and got rid of the green and I hope that one pass with the disc and hit it with the harrow-gater and it will be ready to plant. At least that's the plan, Hope it works. Only one bad thing happened, Lost a shovel off a shank and I don't want to find it with a tire. Bandit

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
