Hauled sand for the kids sand box one time. Went to the plant and told them I wanted 2.5 ton. Had a 1956 Ford F-250 and a trailer made from a half ton. Pickup had grain sides. Put what we thought was a ton on the trailer, then he proceeded to dump into the pickup. Seemed to me there was a lot going in, so I walked around and glanced in the back. Sand was nearly to the top of the grain sides! When I waved at the operator to stop, he immediately shut down then asked what was wrong because I wasn't to the overloads yet.

Rolled out with four ton on board. Dang the roads improved! We got to his house and had to back up the drive way. As I hit reverse, I saw a police cruiser coming with the lights flashing about three blocks away. Got up the drive way with no problems, it was a three foot climb to the side walk.

Bald as my father. His jaw hit the pavement.

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
