I almost ran someone over a few weeks ago. Perfectly wrong conditions. Long line of traffic on a 3 mile straight stretch of fairly reflective road- one set of oncoming headlights at the other end can look like 3.
Guy was about a 3/8, maybe half, mile ahead of me going around a bend. Not close enough to tell closing speed yet. I go around the bend and another mile later I see a couple dim red lights between headlight glare on the roadway. It registered I was catching someone, but it takes a little longer to register that they are doing about 42 in a 65 zone!
I missed him by a lot more than it felt like.got home and posted on a local Facebook page that someone might have a talk with him about maybe staying in after dark if that's all the faster he can go. People started saying I need to watch what I'm doing. I was doing what I was supposed to be doing, that's why I did not hit him.

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
