I clean and rinse my poly sprayer tank (600 gallons) out about three times with herbicide cleaner and add a side delivery flexible hose on a fiberglass mast. I used it to water 4 legacy oak trees and about 50 crepe myrtle trees during our 2 yr drought a couple of years ago. I have a couple of deep wells with 2 inch fill hoses that can fill the tank in less than 15 minutes. I was putting 1200 gallons around each tree along their drip lines per watering and about 50-80 gallons around each crepe. I used a wide dispersion nozzle to prevent soil erosion when using the pump to pressurize the nozzle. Sometimes I would just park the tank and manually drain the water if I wasn't in a hurry watering the trees but I always used the pressurized method on the crepes as I would just drive down the line and unload at each trees. Never lost a tree or crepe that I watered. It is much better to soak the tree rather than lightly water more frequently. It is estimated Texas lost over 600 million trees during our 2010-2011 drought. We had temps over 100 degrees for over 84 "straight" days without rain, and it was brutally hard on our Bermuda hay fields but mine survived somehow. We need rain again but nothing yet like that last drought.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. 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
