I would almost be that photo was taken of either Hutterites , or Dukabour women cutting grain on a colony farm in western Canada, sometime in the 1920�s. Our family farm had a lot of orchard on it , around the turn of the 20th century. My Great Grandfather grew grain in between the trees. Of coarse Apple trees were very tall then , not like the dwarf trees you see now. My Grandfather had 5 brothers , my Grandfather being the oldest. Great Grand father and Grandfather would cradle the grain, while the younger boys would come behind tying sheaves , and stooking the grain to dry. My dad told me this story.

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
