All this WWII talk and questions as to why it’s not about tractors got me thinking. I read a story years ago, and can’t remember where, about the battles for Attu and Kiska I believe (I could be wrong here). The army needed to move supplies over a valley to the next hill. That next hill was too steep to get anything up it so they decided on a rope type conveyor to pull sled loads up the hill. They needed to get a bulldozer (what they could get to the top of the first hill) down into the valley to use (presumably the PTO) to operate the conveyor. The problem was that the first hill was also too steep to get a dozer safely down to the bottom. They decided to roll two (it could have been more) dozers down the hill and they thought there might be enough usable pieces left over to reassemble a working dozer. After the “tumbles” they found that they (at least one or more) still worked without repair. Anyone know or hear of this story or am I going nuts from cabin fever?

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
