Most tradesmen really hate working on things after an owner has tried to fix something himself. Often a homeowner will try to fix something and FUBAR it, then call in a professional to fix his mistakes (BTDT myself as a homeowner). The tradesman first has to figure out and undo the homeowner's fixes before the actual repair can begin. This adds extra cost to the job all the while the homeowner is crying "I already did 90 percent of the work for you!" Some guys can FUBAR things worse than a fire.
I can understand the farmer's frustration, but IMHO, I really doubt that few if any are anywhere near qualified or capable of debugging the software if they did have access to it.

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
