Steve ..... that's the general belief but I have found that there is no particular way to position deck lumber to prevent "dishing" of the boards. In my experience, dishing of the outer edges (and resulting water trapping) can happen crown up or crown down. But there is a way to "almost" ensure it doesn't happen, and that's to cut a bottom-side saw KERF (a saw-cut slot) before screwing the wood down in the middle and lengthwise along the length of the board's bottom side. For a deck board that is say 1 1/2" thick, the kerf could be half as deep as the board or 3/4" deep. The deck screws will tend to pin the board flat and prevent dishing for the most part. Not necessary with 2x4 decking but 2x6 or wider, the dishing problem starts to show up.

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
