I can and do appreciate your comments about this B & D, but I am rather doubtful we will see our country relaxing diesel engine emissions standards. I don't own or operate a single piece of equipment with DPF, DEF, EGR, or any of those other "mickey mouse" after treatment devices. Every tractor has a Bosch, ND, or Stanadyne fuel injection pump if it runs on diesel, and every gas tractor is prior to 1970 vintage. The United States has its own version of China's Taiwan and that "rogue state" is California. We all know when it comes to engines and emissions, California starts the ball rolling on reducing the allowable level of pollutants. As we realized once again through this most recent election, the majority of the population is in urban areas and particularly on the east and west coasts. People in numbers dictate who we send to Washington. We have a clueless population in this country, who is so extremely far removed from the farm and food production, and has no clue what those who farm face on a daily and annual basis. Our urban population will never let our regulatory agencies relax the standards in place today. I have yet to see regulations become less stringent. When it comes to our urban counterparts, they have no clue as to what the cost associated with all this "emissions hardware" adds to the purchase of a new piece of machinery and the headaches that come from electronic glitches. Don't get me wrong! I like to breathe clean air just like everyone else does. From what I have picked up on, all this emissions hardware has caused some issues associated with engine failure not seen before. I use my very simple analogy of cooled EGR, or exhaust gas return/recirculation. Essentially the engine is bringing exhaust gases, that have been cooled, and introduced back into the air intake stream. I fail to see how an engine that must breathe air and more importantly, oxygen, runs better or runs/burns cleaner. My analogy is that the human body needs air, comprised of about 20 percent oxygen and nearly 80 percent nitrogen, to function. How well do we think our human body could function if we were required to take a tube, shove one end up our own "tailpipe," with the other end piped into a breathing mask ultimately having to partially breathe our own bodily "tailpipe emissions?" I am quite sure those emissions would kill us all off if we ingested and digested nothing but a vegan diet, mainly comprise of beans, cabbage, broccoli, and other veggies full of fiber and perhaps topped off with a Budweiser or two! lol

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
