My son had a truck tire blow out in his shop today. No one hurt but a few guys shaken up. He services trucks for a local feed mill and had one in the shop for its scheduled service. Shop is about 60x100. One of the company drivers had some spare time so he was checking tire pressures. One of the outside trailer tires was a little low so he aired it up. My son was walking by and heard the popcorn sound and asked the guy how much pressure he put in the tire. He said 110 but he checked it again. Just when he put the gauge to the valve stem the inside sidewall blew out, BOOM! A big cloud of dust came out from under the trailer and the guy checking the pressure was wobbling around. My son asked him if he was OK and he said “yes but I can’t hear anything”. Everybody’s ears were ringing. A couple other guys were in the shop and their eyes were as big as dinner platters. Anyway, the important part was no one was hurt. Someone could have been carried out in a body bag if the tire wouldn’t have been bolted to the hub. All I can say is the good lord was looking down upon them today.

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
