We've got two Gator 825's in the family and they've became the go-to vehicle for all sorts of chores. They've more maneuverable than a tractor and trailer, can get into tighter spots than a pickup, and are much easier to load and unload than a truck for things like bringing firewood from the drying pile to the inside piles meant for winter burning. With, of course, proper supervision and in good conditions, they're also a great learning tool for teaching kids to drive--easy to get in and out of, a bench seat for comfort, much more stable than an ATV with roll protection and seat belts, a low range and gas-and-go controls--no clutching or shifting, and the bench seat allows an adult to be right there next to them. Obviously some intelligence on the part of the adults is called for in determining the responsibility level, but most farm kids are driving power equipment of some variation long before they're old enough for a driver's license and a side-by-side is one of the best ways of instilling good habits early. No experience with Kubota side my sides but there seem to be a lot of them around and the people I know that have them have been satisfied.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. 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
