I went over to the York site and here is what it said about caster wheels and I suppose the same applies to a blade as well as the rake. So the caster wheels need to be adjusted up and down with the front one of an angled blade/rake an inch or so higher so the blade/rake is lower and it digs in more and then feathers out to the trailing edge of the blade/rake. Looks like the caster wheels work whether or not your 3 point has down pressure. It says using a hydraulic top link requires you to be too quick on adjusting it which most people can't without going very slow. So kinda like the trailing caster wheels of a brush hog that have pin holes for adjustments. Might have to look at my mowers and see if I can borrow them and move them over to some brackets welded on my blade. The casters on the York rake stuck back a foot or two and probably the more the better.
On another note, does anyone know if the 3 point on my Ford 1500 has down pressure or not? I was using a cultivator behind it and not sure it was pushing down much or not.

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
