I agree with the majority that you will need hydraulics, but if you have a lot of fire ants in your area you will quickly discover why most in the South have gotten away from any type of sickle bar haybine. Your clutch leg will get tired from all of the backing up to clear plugs. If you tractor doesn't have live or independent pto you will become frustrated quickly trying to cut 1 acre, 40 acres would be a nightmare. I feel you would be better off finding a disc or drum mower, discbine, or even sticking to your sickle mower. A simple sickle mower will handle fire ant mounds a little better than a haybine because there is nothing behind the cutterbar to collect dirt and build up a plug.

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
