Much the same thing happened to my dad. He was getting close to 30 years active duty, US Army when he became the SMJ of the US Army meteorological command. That meant that he had to visit various stations in the continental US and AK. While on a US Army chopper catching a ride from the MN National Guard from Minneapolis to Fargo ND he flew at low level over the area where he bought our farm. He really liked the area so him and mom decided that's where they would retire too. After he retired we were living in Osakis MN at first while he and mom looked for a place to buy. I was a junior in HS and doing well. SO mom and dad would take off for a couple of days at a time to go farm hunting. They returned one Wens. and dad was all excited about an area they had driven through on the way home and told me about a place they had driven by, no for sale sign, that he said would be perfect. He had left a note in a relator's mail box. They were home about an hour when the guy called dad, talked to him for a few minutes and ask if dad wanted to look at a farm the next day. I ask if I could skip a day of school and go with. So the next morning we drove up met with the relator and he took us out to the very place dad had told me about! The guy had just listed it and hadn't put a sign up yet. The added bonus is the owner wanted to do a contract for deed and was selling cheap, about 1/4 market value because he had sold other land and was very close to capital gains. We moved in at the end of the school year in the spring of 72.

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
