I agree -- it's hard to know where to put money that is safe and worthwhile. I have diversified investments, but about 60% in moderately aggressive stocks. I have more faith in 10-year averages than day-to-day Dow performance. I stuck it out in 2008 and came out in good shape, although I've taken a helluva hit in the last quarter or so. But I don't want to sell when prices are low, because it just locks in losses. I probably won't change my strategy until I am forced (by law) to start taking minimum mandatory withdrawals from tax-sheltered holdings. So my unsophisticated solution has been to not look at my daily beating for the past few months. My best investments in recent years actually have been in decent-quality guns -- Winchester 9422s, Marlin 39As, Ruger six-guns, old Savage combo guns, and many others. They all seem to keep going up in value if you can buy at reasonable prices, but they certainly aren't the most liquid investments you could make. (FWIW, the investments I have are supplemental to my pension, a fixed annuity, and Social Security, which I won't claim until I hit age 70. If I lose my arse in stocks, I guess I won't starve.)

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
