My father purchased a 24x40 1 and 1/2 story house for $600 in 1966 that had to be torn down or moved. He had a foundation poured and blocks layed on the corner of the farm 8 miles away for a crawl space. Utility companies wanted $5000 for moving wires and lights. Dad said no. We split the roof at the ridge and layed the roof down on the upstairs floor. The moving company had the beams in place and wheels at each end. The front was steerable. Once on the street, the house moved the 8 miles on two lane paved roads with a police escourt in one hour. It then had to cross a 4 foot deep ditch to get to the foundation. By 5pm the house was sitting on the new foundation. We put the roof back up and added a dormer all the way across the back 40' roof line which I later finished as 2 bedrooms, a full bathrooom and walk-in hall closet.

We have been here 35 years.

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
