Let me tell you about a set of tires I purchased from WalMart. Several years ago I needed tires for my Jeep Cherokee and I saw some Goodyear Wranglers at WM for a decent price and purchased them. (Actually, when you figure all the fees WM adds, the price wasn't so decent, but.....). I declined the road hazard because I don't do offroading, just quite a few miles on my gravel road. After about 20K miles, the tires were cracking REAL bad on the tread (not the sidewall) and I went back to WM to show them the product that they had sold me. (Sidenote: the tires were cracking around each of the knobby treads of each tire, not from any suspension problems or from over or underinflating) The WM tire "supervisor/foreman" first asked if I had road hazard. I told him that the tire is falling apart from use, not hazards of the road. He then told me that under "no way, shape, or form" would Goodyear do anything about the tires. Lots of people have tried, but none have ever been compensated without the extra road hazard fee. I then asked him if he would trust his life with these tires. His response was "Oh, h*ll, no! Those things look like they will fly apart at any time!" He politely told me to pound dirt and that my tires were typical for Goodyear tires. My advice is to STAY AWAY FROM GOODYEAR TIRES! Currently running Toyo tires and I've been happy with them so far.

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
