In response to your reply from a couple posts down about in rolling hay. I have really good success with in rolling hay and have for several years now. The ground here in south central ky is rolling, probably more than where you are. When the ground is very soft, I unroll in a different field to keep the cows from trampling and creating a muddy mess. When the ground is dry I will concentrate my feeding in one paticular field between 5 and 10 acres.
My rolls are 5 x 6 and I find that 1 roll to 40 momma cows works good for me. You need to feed only enough that they will eat in one day or they will start bedding down in it and messing in it.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
