I pulled a new idea 6a two row picker with a two hundred bu. wagon and a 46 slant dash A in the mid sixty's with no problem. It had been just bored 90 over but all fuel pistons. I always figured it had about 34 horse. Now as far as yield goes. In 1965 I was part of funks 304 bu. challenge. I ran between 126 and 120 bu. per measured acre. I picked it all with the 6a picker, didn't seem to have a problem. By 1972 farmers around me that were raising 100 to 160 shelled bu. corn to the acre and shelling with two row pull type pickersheller's. The older farmers around me couldn't see spending about twelve thousand on new combine when three thousand for a two row pickersheller would do just find. If you wanted to buy a farm for a $1000 an acre and went to the bank, the first think you had to do, was prove you didn't need to barrow the money to buy the farm. In fact a lot of farms around me were sold on land contracts. Seems to be today if you don't have two to at lease three 200 hundred thousand dollar tractor setting in your yard and a couple of 5oo thousand dollar combines you are behind the times. Remember the 1930s. they are coming again sooner then later!,john

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
