I left work early Monday to bale a little patch I cut on Saturday. First time I had ever used this baler (old IH 47 wire tie). The windrows were just to big even though I only raked 1.5 windows togather with a 9' rake.
I puttered along in first gear kicking out a bale every 10 feet or so. I was just about done and it sheared off both shear bolts. That's when I learned the folly of only have one shear bolt in the tool box. Ran to town and made one more bale and then the wire splice between the boxes of wire pulled apart and failed to feed. Restrung the wire and made 4 more bales then it started kicking out more broken bales. Pulled all the hay out and realized I'd missed the needle completely (how it ever made the first 4 bales at all is a wonder). Correctly restrung it went back working like it should. The last 10 - 15 bales took more time and effort than the first 160. Off a little 3.6 acre patch I got 175 70 pound bales - sold all but 20 for cash to 5 different buyers that showed up looking for "horse hay" while I was still baling it. Now I'm just waiting for the rain that the weatherman promised.

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
