What kind of thistle? The larger Bull thistle and Russian thistle are easy to kill by chopping off all the top growth one time with a hoe or a spade. The smaller Canadian thistle has a strong root that is much much tougher to control. Repeated chemical applications at the proper time works. Repeatedly removing all the top growth, any time there is any top growth, for five to ten years can eventually starve the root.

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
