I expect that the "1000 year" reference would describe the likelihood of flood occurrence. Nothing wrong with taking precautions. Trees will come down. Not a matter of if, just when. Probably a good high percentage of the land in the US is vulnerable to a flood. That does not make those areas uninhabitable.

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
