Hydraulics is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids. The cited article says that, rooted in fluid mechanics, hydraulics is used to govern the use of energy via pressurized liquids, and that it has been part of human history since ancient times. For farm implements it names the power of rams and motors driven by pressurized fluid from a tractor pump, one half of the combined hydraulic or power take-off value. Implements recorded in the atlas as hydraulically powered are grouped under this concept.
