Hydraulic Cylinders for Agricultural Machinery

Konya, where Fenitsa is based, is one of Türkiye’s main agricultural machinery centres. Agricultural cylinders must be compact, tolerate dirt and weather, and survive long seasonal idle periods.

We supply welded and tie-rod cylinders for implement manufacturers and replacement cylinders for tractors and farm machinery.

Sizing for a Tractor Hydraulic Circuit

Tractor remote valves typically deliver roughly 160–210 bar. For a loader needing 40 kN per lift cylinder at 160 bar, the area is 2,500 mm² and the theoretical bore 56.4 mm — a Ø63 mm cylinder (49.9 kN) is the right choice.

Cylinder speed depends on the tractor’s pump flow: a Ø63 mm cylinder at 40 L/min extends at about 0.21 m/s. Check both before choosing the bore — see the flow rate calculator.

Seasonal Care for Farm Cylinders

  • Store retractedKeep rods inside the cylinder during the off-season to protect the chrome.
  • Grease pinsDry pins seize and ovalise mounting eyes.
  • Clean couplersDirt entering through quick couplers is the main cause of scored cylinders.
  • Check seals before the seasonReplace leaking seals before heavy work begins.

Inspection Routine

What to check, and how often, in this application.

  • Before the seasonCheck seals and rods, replace leaking seals, grease all pins.
  • During the seasonKeep couplers clean and capped; inspect hoses weekly.
  • After the seasonClean, retract rods and store under cover.
  • Every few seasonsReseal heavily used loader cylinders.

Hydraulic Cylinders for Agricultural Machinery – FAQ

Which cylinder type is best for farm machinery?

Compact welded cylinders for most implements; tie-rod cylinders where standard dimensions and easy resealing matter.

What pressure do tractor hydraulics run at?

Typically around 160–210 bar at the remote valves; check your tractor’s specification.

Can you supply cylinders to implement manufacturers?

Yes — series production to an approved drawing, with the same test procedure for every batch.

How do I stop farm cylinders from rusting in storage?

Store them retracted, keep a film of oil on any exposed rod and protect couplers from dirt.
