What strikes me is - we use to have very small Ford, Chevy, a Chrystler/Plymouth, AMC - IH Scout, and Buick dealers within 20 miles - all are out of business now. None of them sold a ton of cars. Pretty sure this pattern existed across this country for many many years.
So what's in it for a Ford or GM corporate to have such small dealers? IMHO the dealer has a price they have to pay for the car to Ford/GM corporate. Corporate has made their profit - end of story, but if there were 2,000 small dealers across the country that sold 15 cars or trucks a month - that's 15 x 12 x 2,000 for 360,000 cars moved and at least corporate profit made on them. It's also 360,000 in future parts business. It boggles my mind that that number is unacceptable!
I get it that maybe you want a dealer to have some sort of appearance, nothing offending - but requiring them to build mega-new buildings just adds IMHO unnecessary overhead to the small dealers and snuff out their ability to service and sell cars.
One of these days there will be a Harvard study on COMMON SENSE and the outcome of it will STUN the nation.....

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
