PCA I worked for in the '70's bought new Fords for the loan officers- Boss "bought local", and wanted to have the Ford dealer to do the service work as well. That lasted quick- Mine was the first that needed an oil change, and they replaced a headlight- 112 bucks! And this in 1977. Boss immediately told everybody that we're going back to the independent mechanic we had before, except for serious warranty work. The independent was a young guy just starting out, and I'm still using him 40 years later- a more honest guy there never was.
Also took an '87 Ford Aerostar in to a different Ford dealer for a cooling problem- they charged 1.5 hours labor for a thermostat and coolant flush.

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
