We rent out our sod ground for potatoes when it's due to be ploughed so normally there's little or no ploughing for us to do ourselves. We do have a few fields that don't get rented out either because it's not suitable potato ground or its land we rent that the owner doesn't want potatoes to be planted in it so we plough it. We still have my late fathers 5 sod Kvernerland that's been here for at least as long as I can remember (I'm 42) and I use it behind his old 3505 MF. It's been 2 years since I last ploughed with it and I warned the Misses than that next time around it'll need a lot of repair before it goes back out again. I hooked it on yesterday got 2' and the hydraulic line blew,got a new one 18' long made up. Pulled it out of the weeds,got out to loosen the 3/4 bolt that holds the jack stand in place and it twisted off. Today I fixed that,put all new points,shears 3 new land slides and got a replace coulter assembly from salvage as one fell off and am doing a couple of small wet fields tomorrow before we get rain Sunday and after that I may not get over them before I do the dryer fields. The parts man at John Deer said he had 5 shears in stock to fit it and cut them from the $110 listed each to $55 as he said they can't be sent back and unless we took them they'd never sell. I love this time of year,everyone in the farming community is more relaxed and in a better mood lol. Really happy to have Dad's old plough back into shape and can't wait to use it tomorrow.

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
