Didn't want to hijack the thread below, but wondering about how to easily burn wood that is 1 1/2 years old.
Right now it gets cut and split, then stacked out in the woodyard. Typically to sit out for part of a summer, all winter, and all of the next summer uncovered. Long about the second fall it gets picked up and moved into the woodshed, rotated with any leftovers from last year so oldest burns first. Then every month or so several pickup loads are moved from the shed to a small covered rack up by the house. Then a couple of times a week some of that it brought into the house. That's a lot of messing with the wood before it gets burned.

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
