Hydraulic Systems in Agriculture

Modern tractors and agricultural machinery depend on hydraulic cylinders for control of lift arms, steering, front loaders, and planting/seeding equipment. Intensive use during the farming season can cause rapid cylinder wear.

Correct cylinder selection is vital for efficient operation of agricultural machinery and uninterrupted operation during harvest season.

Brand Compatibility and OEM

Brands such as Massey Ferguson, New Holland, John Deere, Ford, and Landini each use cylinders with different connection dimensions and pressure values. When purchasing replacement cylinders, verifying the OEM part number is essential.
