I'd like an opportunity for some local old-timers to show off how to do various tasks with the tractor. For example, I have a gravel driveway, and a back blade for my small tractor but every time I try to use it I make a bigger mess than when I started. People keep telling me I just need to practice, but something tells me I'm practicing the wrong techniques. Somebody that knows what they are doing could tell me "the angle is wrong" or "you need more weight" (or even "give up and buy a box blade").
I grew up working on cars and motorcycles in the suburbs, so most of the engine stuff I can figure out. Mowing, and running a loader are pretty much common sense, but something about using that back blade to maintain the driveway is magical.
I'm the "old guy" who shows my son's friends how to put clutches, head gaskets, brakes, or frame parts on their cars, how to pound out and fill simple dents, etc. I'd gladly participate in an "old tractor guy" network or pay somebody to show me what I'm doing wrong.

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
