NOT funny! Been there because someone else loaded the trailer with milled lumber from logs we had hauled a couple of weeks before. I had no way to unload it. Aside from the excessive weight, the 10,000 gvw trailer was originally factory built with mobile home style axles and wheels. Brakes only on one axle. I was on I-69 west of Flint, Mich.

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
