There is something to being on the "bleeding edge." You are THE first, but learned a lot the hard and expensive way. Some of the more successful companies have been those that copied the good ideas early, or bought rights to said ideas. Examples with Deere- first hydraulics on trators (A in 1934), and ROPS (1966) but little else FIRST. Items such as power steering, live PTO, live hydraulics- not first, but earlier than many. Later ideas, like Roll o matic, the corn planter finger pickup, etc were purchased by Deere from their original inventor (usually farmers). The farmer did the R and D, and Deere marketed.

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
