It never is easy to start your own business. That is why about 75% of them fail in the first year of business. As for starting out milking 30-40 cows and trying to make ends meet. I always admired the guys that milked. To me they where working a factory job but without any benefits. Tied down 24/7/365. It was a hard life.
Most of the dairies around me anymore are not what I would call family dairies anymore. They may only be milking 100-150 cows but most of them have several Mexicans doing the milking chores.

The INS busts a few each year but mostly just a slap on the wrist and business as usual.
Now days starting is even harder than it would have been then. I made more clear money in the early 1980s than I do now. Things did not cost as much and the percentage of each dollar I got to keep was larger. You could start out with a little bit of machinery and rent some ground and get started. These days the ground is just about impossible to find at an affordable price to rent or buy.

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
