What exactly isn't lasting, the charger or the battery? There are two different types of chargers/maintainers - float and trickle chargers. A FLOAT CHARGER is the best one to get. You keep it connected to the battery whenever the vehicle is idle and not running so the battery maintains a full charge under load and is ready to go when you are. It will shut off automatically when the charge is good and switches on automatically when the charge gets low. A trickle charger may not have auto-shutoff and if it is left 'ON' unattended will overcharge the battery and boil out the electrolyte. Once that happens the battery is junk. You just can't put more electrolyte in - it doesn't work that way. Battery must meet Specific Gravity, tested with a Hydrometer. Best to get tested on a machine at a local starter/gen/alt shop. A good float charger is the DELTRAN BATTERY TENDER, Wally World, $30. The JR Model is the 6V version for those of us who have vintage tractors with the 6V/POS GRN systems.

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
