two comments from using them..
IF... you mount the engine with the rear arms CENTERED,,, it will then spin over easier... if you just mount the engine in the lowered position, it will be very very hard to spin over.
AND,,, if you look at the entended legs, and where the wheels are mounted on the floor.... those wheels are the center of gravity point as to where it will flip over... so the engine would have to stick out more than half of its length past those front wheels... That would mean your engine would need to be nearly 7 feet long to flip...merly sticking out 6 inches or a foot past the those wheels, with 3 feet plus on the other side will not tip it.
And yes, you dont use this on an incline or rough floor.. Actually you probably should not move the stand once an engine is mounted.
getting the block centered, and then adding the heads to it, can make it harder to spin, so I always add the heads last thing in the assembly process. I always use the long pipe (jack handle) to spin the engine. there is a place to store the pipe on the stand.

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
