Hello
I was wondering if anyone can offer any advice on buying a cylinder for use as a hydralic toplink. My tractor is 60hp and cat. 2.
I was told by a local supplier that excessive pressures can build up in cylinders under load causing seals to rupture and that there would be side load problems also. Obviously though, plenty of people are using them so I'm assuming it must be a case of getting the right size and style of cylinder for my application.
Any thoughts or insights on this greatly appreciated. Thanks. Gerry
