Crookedrows and I sat there with BAStar and Darrel Poindexter until after one yesterday. We took a break and went back for the HPOCA meeting at 2. That ended a little past 2:30, then we went out walking again. We must have just missed you coming and going. I met Lenray and ran in to Tractor Terry, as well as a few lurkers today. Long exhausting four days, but everything is home.
A slight disaster on the way home with the last load. Two tractors on the tri axle trailer, just started up the overpass on 57 over 127, the trailer whipped just a little bit, one time, then WHAM!

I pulled off real quick, jumped out and tried to kick the tire over when it rolled past, but it was going too fast.
Luckily it rolled straight up and over the overpass and finally went off and hit the guardrail and didn't go off the overpass and land on a car below.

I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. 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
