The Feds contract out the selling to these guys just like they contract everything else they can out to civilian agencies. If you look nearly all the items listed are still setting on a military base and never leave there until bought and picked up. Supposidly this saves the government money by not having to pay military personell to do this kind of work. Unfortunately we all know the civilian contractors wind up charging way more than the government would spend to train and pay some 20 year old kid to do the same thing.
Twenty years ago when I was in the Navy, stationed in Ingleside, TX, pretty much everything on the base from running the BEQ to running he mess hall was all contracted out to civilian agencies. There were always 'token' military guys such as myself with duties that revolved around the same activities but all the 'grunt work' was handled by others. Sad all the koney spent paying the salaries of the military people and then spent again paying civilians to do the same jobs.....Typical Government stupidity wasting the taxpayers money if you ask me........
What really gets me is that when you look at some of the items you know they are outdated, broken, etc and are worth only scrap value to the government but sold off ar worth more. On the other hand are things like hand tools, etc that don't wear out or go bad yet they are sold as "surplus". Heck in the time I spent in the service we did good to get any tools to do out job and to see perfectly good tools, bought with taxpayer money, sold off for next to nothing makes me sick..........

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
