I am aware of the performance differences in summer vs winter blended diesel fuel. I always get off road #2 fuel . I rarely use the diesel tractors in real cold temperatures , usually only if I need the loader to move snow , but we have had several winters where that has'nt been necessary. I used to go get some kerosene in fuel cans and add that to the tractor fuel tank in the winter to make a winter blend , but it has'nt been necessary to do that in a few years. #1 fuel/kerosene does not give any protection against icing , but will prevent gelling/fuel waxing in real cold temperatures. I guess finding real differences in fuel comsumption might be easier to track in a truck fleet where fuel mileage is tracked of maybe in a new diesel pickup where the computer might give you mpg info on the dash . The you still have to consider seasonal fuel mix differences , and maintainance being kept up etc . Most of the popular diesel fuel additives do promise added power , I just posted this to see if anyone ever noticed a real difference /advantage when using the additive. I can't really say either way, I am like most people , when the tractor needs fuel I fill it and dont really track how much I use , as that can vary a lot based on how heavy of work you are doing.

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
