Dixie bought a LT1000 16 HP 42" cut Craftsman about 15 years ago. I still use it to mow around the horse lots. I have replaced the mandrels under the deck and both the drive belt and the mower belt and it is still going. I have over three acres of what we call lawn and close to an acre around the horse lots. I mow the larger parts with the Allis Chalmers C with a five foot Woods belly mower most of the time. I use the Craftsman to mow it all when it is wet enough for the tractor tires to cut in. The Craftsman takes three times as much gas to mow as the tractor does. I also have a 9523 Simplicity diesel with a five foot deck that I used to mow with that takes even less fuel than the Allis C to mow the same area. I use the LT1000 to feed horses morning and night with a lawn trailer and I burn more than five gallons of gas a week in just it. This may or may not be of interest to you but a slower RPM engine on a larger tractor for mowing will be cheaper to operate.

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
