It's the opinion of many on here that today's tractors won't have the lifespan of yesterday's tractors. Maybe, maybe not...A couple observations....when I was a kid long ago, in 1960, a ten year old tractor was nearing obsolescence....most had no 3 PT, or live pto or power steering as most new tractors did. In 1960, a 30 year old tractor was almost unheard of....in my dad's garage at the time, the oldest tractor I remember was one 10 20 McCormick Deering...everything else was an old Massey 30, or 8N Ford, John Deere AR of IH W4. Back then, farmers said the same thing....these new tractors are too complicated, they won't be around in 25 years.... Well, my new tractor turns 30 years old this year, and would easily sell for 3/4s of its original price of 40k. My other tractor is 50 years old, and gets used nearly every day in season. Maybe today's tractors have more life in them than we think....at least I hope so.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. 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
