Well, when my gramps sold his lime spreading operation, most of the loader tractors for the local satelite stockpiles went with it, except the 8N with the Wagner step-thru that had become a backup. 340 International, Fordson Major Diesel (manual steering and a beyotch to steer) and the Michigan 75A all went away. The 8N had been used where there were no scales, and before it was moved out there (Prattsburg NY) it was verified that a heaped bucket of lime was 900 lbs, so it was always full when loading. The front axle, by the time I started plowing snow with it, had a pretty good swayback in it, so was not fun to steer, but snow and coal was lighter. Worked pretty well for clearing snow with bucket extensions added, loaded tires with the big-bore Merc piston kit, weights, chains and a full 55 gal drum on the back. I know have a decent 850 with PS and the Wagner step-thru, and it is a LOT more tractor, bigger tires with big pie weights etc. My 50 8N mows, that's it. I also have a 340 with a big Farmhand loader that would be a good snow rig. A loader has a big advantage over a backblade in snow, as you can pile it up or move it around

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
