I am western new Yorker also. S.wales,NY. I know exactly what you mean. Seems like many of our roads are over salted. I agree there has to be a better alternative. I also think some of the conditions we have here are sort of unique. With 15 one day to 35 the next and then back to 10 probably makes it a little more tricky than if it was just cold or just above freezing during the day.

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
