Thanks Bob. I backed this machine out of the shed yesterday and extended it to the right side, the full length (18ft from center of tractor with the standard 5 ft head on the end. With it suspended above the ground, the tractor "leans" heavily to the right and as you say, that rear tire is squashed down pretty good. I intend to get the valve stem up and check air pressure today or tomorrow to see where it is. Most mowing operations would have the head riding on the ground, which helps the scenario, but when mowing above ground at a right angle or "somewhat" above the cab, things are different. Thus, I want to be sure I an not setting myself up to fail. The tractor weight is well within the specs the mower company provided for its use. BTW, this is a Bush Hog model RMB1865, 3 point hitch unit. The homepage provides a lot of info on this machine but it is powered via PTO to its own hydraulic system, with controls mounted inside the cab. The cables have a disconnect so that the machine can be removed without removing the controls. It has an electronic control option.....but pricey...in fact, the whole thing is pricey. Lol The hydraulic oil tank is mounted on the unit itself and provides some counterweight as it is always on the left side. I'll provide an update when I get a chance.

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
