Are you sure? If I mow my grass when it’s 6” tall, and my mower is set for 4”, won’t I mow more frequently than if the mower was set to 2” (or less)?

I’m not saying the yard will look nice, but it seems like it would save mowing time.

It’ll look like garbage and you’ll have to go turtle slow to manage the task. And it seems that most people that do that have a deck that’s 2” out of level. Mowing 8” grass at 4” would be a lot better.

No conditions. Doesn't matter which end the rod is on when it is mounted on an implement. It extends or retracts with the same strength no matter which direction it is mounted.

Yes, extension is always stronger than retraction, but we are not talking about that.

In a push-pull operation, it makes a lot of difference. In a push only operation, it makes no difference.

One "condition" is "what does strength mean" . Moss Road has my meaning. bcp has the simplified version.

Yes, that is a GOOD one. That many guys on here will swear is the truth. They can't tell you why, they just KNOW it is true..

How do those no plug in, personal device chargers work any way?

Osmosis I think, or is it interpolation?

Electrical charge transfer without a solid conductor? Tin foil hats ON!

The wireless charging ones? They use RF waves, quite inefficient, but for what they are doing, they work well.

People still confusing cylinder orientation with difference in extend and retract.

Look at these loader cylinders.

If the cylinders are turned around so the rod end is up, it will not lift more or less than before. It extends (strong motion) to lift whether the rod is up or down.

The mythconception is that the orientation makes a difference in power.

Again, in a push-only operation, orientation of the cylinder makes no difference. However, in a push-pull operation, the cylinder is stronger in one direction than it is in the other direction.

In a push-pull use of a cylinder one direction is stronger, but it will make no difference if the cylinder is turned around. Orientation still doesn't matter.
