Dont know the extent of your expenses and what bills you have to pay. . . but Id take your concerns into consideration everytime I look at a new machine/tractor/anything for that matter. I always like having a bit of money stored away as a buffer to pay bills etc for situations that are unexpected (car motor blows up, etc). Credit cards are always paid off (used for convenience, not credit), and I always try to save a little for someday if I get to the age I can retire. Above and beyond that I take into account the expense Ill have in the project once I get it home (crawlers and undercarriage can get expensive), how much Ill be able to use/enjoy the machine once I have it (too many and some get neglected and crawlers are tough to drive around as they tear up the lawn), and lastly I take into consideration if I have to sell the machine how quickly will I be able to do it and will I be able to sell it for what I have in it. . . Not trying to encourage/discourage you in any way. Just some of the things I think about when it comes to my toys. I know my wife gets annoyed when she sees a new project hauled in or a check written for a new tractor. . . just wish she would understand that its some of the tractors Ive bought/sold over the years that have paid off some of the bills she has run up. . . Just remember you cant take it with you and have fun with it while you can. Dave.

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
