My sister and I fed the calves twice a day- usually 10 or 12 at any given time. Their water was a half a 55 gallon drum, which we filled with buckets from the main watering trough about 20 feet away. Sometimes took a lot of buckets, especially since we were too little to fill them. Sister and I got the bright idea that we should buy a hose- put it on the faucet that kept the main trough full, then take it off when we were done.

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
