I moved "out West" several years ago for work and prosperity. I was born and raised on our family farm, near a village where my family goes back hundreds of years. So I have quite a draw to go back home.
A few years ago I bought a small "farm" near home, but I only get to go there for 6 weeks each Summer. I used to fly sometimes, but it is $1800 for a plane ticket now, and this morning gas was $1.32/L (that's $5.00/gal US), so driving is expensive! I do drive every Summer, but in my 3/4 ton truck the cost is becoming prohibitive...
If there were good job opportunities there, I would move to my farm permanently. It's just too hard to grow anything when you only have 6 weeks...
Farming isn't feasible for me till I retire (8 more years). So, I'll just continue to putter away on my land and buildings, so it will be easier when I do get to go back to "farming" (at least to living in the country).
I agree with the OP, I can't stand living in the city! I have the fire department two blocks away, and the hospital and emergency medical services less than one block away... you can just imagine...

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
