Where do you guys get this twice engine speed stuff. Our H and the old Massey-Harris and the old Case all run about 1800-2000 rpms wide open. Our diesels all run about 1800-2600 rpm. This is in the tractors. Now yes the cars run a top of about 5000 rpm though when was the last time you saw the car or pickup out pulling tillage equipment, or pulling the planter. Yes I know back in the late 70's GM showed a pickup plowing just one pass for a commercial. My semis only run about 1500-2100rpms. They pull along at 1175on the newer one at 60 and 1500at 70 the older one runs 1600 at 60 and still only 2100 wide open. As for the gas they do take less oil per change and the intervals are shorter so that is a moot issue also. Fuel filters will cost some more than the fuel filter in your gas though the fooling around with that inherent sputter and puke about the time you need throttle and fussing with the choke to keep it running in cold weather till it warms up. I've had gassers that didn't start all that well when it was cold too. The diesels other than our 574 all started in cold weather though I religiously like to plug them in below about 20-30 degrees. It is much easier on the engine starting without that raw fuel going by the rings till it starts and the lesser cylinder wear. Also warms up much faster. As for the battery argument with the group 31 's with a stud top I need to clean them when I put them in and when I put the next set in. Nothing between times. They will be clean and working fine till they are needing replaced. 3-7 years later when shot.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. 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
