We’re picking up seed potatoes at work this week. We had some heavy wet snow mixed with rain when I headed out this afternoon with the tractor trailer. I drove about half the speed limit and gave myself extra time to make it there safely. The place I had to back into was a little tricky for a newly licensed big truck driver. I had to park along side of a busy parking lot and back through a busy 4 way intersection and up a steep hill covered in snow and aim the trailer to have 20’ of a stacker boom go directly inside the trailer as I back up. I made a couple of attempts as the warehouse owner helped direct me in. I said “I’m pretty new to driving trucks it’s really slippery and if you don’t mind backing it in I won’t be insulted”. He said sure ,he made 3 attempts before he got it close enough to load. The third attempt he had it in the high reverse and he was flying back and lined it up perfectly and spun out and got it as close as it was going lol. I said thank you and I’d rather ask for help when I need it than destroy something because I was too stubborn. I don’t mind taking my time trying to get backed in but at this point I’m not comfortable yet backing up as fast as it’ll possibly go trying to line it up perfectly with only 2’ on each side for error.

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
