I've got a portable generator and an outdoor connection point to an interior xfer switch that runs 6 circuits, enough to give me heat, refrigerator and light/outlets in every room.
As an aside, the US has the best electric grid in the world. In other countries, the power goes out daily for hours at a time. Guy I work with travels to relatives in Lebanon frequently. He has a relative (doctor) in a million dollar condo and when the power goes out, they grab an extension cord that dangles by their window and plug in a cord that will run a couple of things, refrigerator, TV.

He said the guys who run the generators and their suppliers bribe the govt to keep things the way they are. Guess what his relative pays? On top of his electric bill, he pays $400/month to the generator guy.

Then they complain if the electric company trims a tree on their property or cuts one down to PREVENT a problem from happening. Also, they don't think about the guy out there in the rain and cold hanging from a bucket to get their microwave working again.

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
