Yep, might be stolen. This kind of thing happens all the time with equipment as it all looks alike.
About 20 years ago I ran up on some old equipment. At the time it had been sitting in what appeared to have once been a field, that had since overgrown with trees. I figure it had been sitting for at least 20 years. There were quite a few desirable parts for some the older equipment, as well as several complete, older engines. On top of that there was probably half a million pounds of scrap.
As a result, I tracked down the owner of the property. Turned out to be a contractor about an hour up the road from me.
Given the response I got, I really don't think the guy I talked to realized the equipment was on the property....but claimed he did. I did my level best to get rights to go in there and scrap what was scrap, and get parts that were still usable, for no more than a cut of any profit. They were supposed to get back to me but I never heard from them.
A few years back, when scrap prices were through the roof, I pulled up the area on Google Earth, and over the course of about two years it showed the area slowly being cleared around the machines, and them disappearing.
It made me sick to know EVERYTHING was more than likely scrapped, but what could I do????? All I know is I tried.

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
