Just so you know, its not the same stuff. Heating oil is the next rung down on the ladder from no. 2 diesel. Home heating oil has 1000 BTU more per gallon than no.2 diesel because of the heavier components.

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
