I went to a large farm auction yesterday. It was done by one of the most prominent local auction companies and, frankly, gave new meaning to the old cliché "Chinese Fire Drill".
There was easily enough stuff on the auction to have two rings, but they ran only one the entire day. They ran three hours just on rack items. They had one auctioneer calling the bids and four ringmen. Several times two ringmen would each hold up an item and the bidders wouldn't know which item then were bidding on. They'd have to stop and sort that out.

This is the same auction crew that I've seen work well as a team before. Yesterday just didn't seem right for some reason.

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
