When my son first started driving on his own when he was about 14 or so, he was doing some discing. It was a wet year so I had showed him how to work around wet spots by circling around and getting closer til it was wet, then leave the rest. He did fine til the second day. He came to me in another field and said he was stuck. We went to look and there it was, at least 50' into the water and cat tails. You could see where he had done right by circling to the right spot, but then for whatever reason he decided to make a loop in the field and hit it dead center. We are talking about a couple acres of water. How he got that far in I will never know. He couldn't explain either. Still today he says he doesn't know why he did it or how. Had to hire an excavator to pull it out.
The same year he had to go to a field that was further away. I took him and showed him where it was and he said he could find it. So he left for that field and I left to Finnish planting another. A couple hours later I get where he should have been, but he's not there. So I go looking for him. Looked for maybe a couple hours and never found him. Was just getting ready to report it to the police when he comes in the yard. He got lost and couldn't find his way home til somehow he got to town. The big thing is that the cylinder on that disc leaked down slowly, but he didn't notice, so the drag on the back had been dragging on the road. It was a spike tooth and he wore off about half the spikes. Couldn't even be mad either time because I had left him alone. Makes a good story tho. Lol

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
