Tim, I am going to go out on a limb here. After reading your symptoms several times, I am thinking you have a loose or shorting wire someplace. It could even be internal to the batter(s).

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
