Common Causes of Hydraulic Cylinder For Tractor’s Failure

A tractor is an essential piece of machinery in agriculture, its operation is inseparable from the hydraulic system, and the hydraulic cylinder, as the actuator in this system, plays a critical role. If there are issues with the hydraulic cylinder for tractor, it will significantly affect the performance and overall efficiency of the tractor. So, what are the problems with the hydraulic cylinder for tractor? In the following, we will outline several common problems that may arise with hydraulic cylinder for tractor.

1.Hydraulic Leaks.

The leakage problem in a tractor hydraulic system is commonly seen as oil leakage from the cylinder rod or joints. Oil leakage of tractor hydraulic system is one of the common faults. It may  be due to: cracks in the seal, wear or damage or impurities wear the seal surface, resulting in seal failure. Additionally, improper assembly, such as scratching the seal lip or cylinder wall, can also result in oil leakage.

2.Slow or Weak Hydraulic Response.

The slow lifting speed of the hydraulic cylinder for tractor or its failure to operate normally may be caused by several factors. Such as low oil tank level or the blockage of the suction pipe, the increase of the gap between the piston and the cylinder, the serious internal leakage, the existence of gas or impurities in the hydraulic cylinder, and the aging or damage of the seals.

3.Abnormal noise and vibration.

Abnormal noise and vibration in the hydraulic cylinder for tractor during operation can be caused by several factors, like air mixed in the oil, forming bubbles to impact the cylinder wall, the cylinder base fixing bolt loosening and the piston rod bending or the cylinder cylinder is installed with different cores.

4.Overheating Hydraulic System

Excessive hydraulic cylinder temperature may result from hydraulic system overload, oil pump failure, oil contamination, or a blocked radiator and faulty fan.
