While my farm is small scale , run around 300 acres . Grow 50 acres of grain , 25 acres of silage corn , all the rest is hay . Make between 13-1500 round bales , for right around 65 milk cows, so there is manure to spread too . My gas tractors are antiques that never go to the field anymore. My four main tractors are 100 hp and over , two that see the most use get only 400 hours each.

I am unsure what you use your tractors for , but that is a lot of hours to run on some forty plus year old tractors each year. As I recall gas tractors need to be rebuilt more often than diesels did too. Just out of curiosity , what kind of farming do you do ?

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
