Depends. The electric units are very convenient, quieter, and no mess of gas/oil or exhaust. They can be quite effective, especially with a turbo nozzle. And if you have limited GPM's, (like we do), an electric generally uses less water than the smallest gas units.
With a gas unit, you're not limited to having to be in range of an outlet, but still have to be within range of a pressurized water source. Generally can do more work than the electric units, but use more water, usually a bit more pressure up to 5,000 PSI, and generally get the job done a bit faster than electric units.

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
