Description

Nothing’s more frustrating than trying to hold up a heavy tractor hood while you’re working on the engine, especially when you need both hands for the job. This gas strut takes the strain out of hood service by holding it open solid and steady, so you can focus on maintenance instead of wrestling with falling metal.

What You’re Getting

Strong 825 Newton force rating keeps even heavy hoods locked in place
Extended length of 635mm with 260mm ram stroke gives you plenty of clearance
Direct replacement design mounts using existing attachment points
Weather-resistant construction handles temperature swings and moisture
Smooth operation that won’t bind or stick when you need it most

Built for Real Farm Work

This strut is engineered specifically for John Deere 6R series tractors – the workhorses that handle everything from fieldwork to loader duty around the farm. These mid-size tractors see plenty of maintenance action, and you need reliable hood support when you’re checking fluids, changing filters, or troubleshooting problems.

Made to Last

Farm equipment takes a beating, and hood struts are no exception. This one’s built with quality seals and components that handle the vibration, dirt, and temperature extremes that come with tractor life. The 825 Newton rating means it won’t lose its lift over time like cheaper struts do.

Good to Know

Installation is straightforward – the strut connects with standard ball socket fittings at both ends. If your old strut has lost its lift or won’t stay extended, this is a direct swap. Keep the hood supported during installation, and don’t force the connections if they seem tight – a little penetrating oil usually does the trick.
