If you are noticing that steering your tractor is becoming increasingly difficult, the Power Steering Cylinder may need to be replaced. At Reubicon, we can supply you with a quality aftermarket Mahindra Power Steering Cylinder for just about any model of Mahindra Tractor.

The Power Steering Cylinder is the component that actually turns the wheels of your tractor, converting hydraulic pressure into physical movement, and allowing you to steer with ease.

When the cylinder begins to fail, you may notice these common signs:

• Fluid leaks around the seals
• Weak or uneven steering
• Jerky or delayed response
• Tractor pulling more easily in one direction than the other

These issues also could be caused by Hydraulic Pump issues, contaminated hydraulic fluid, air in the hydraulic system, or issues with steering linkage parts such as Tie Rods, Arms, and Bushings. A thorough inspection of your cylinder, as well as the hydraulic and steering systems, can help you determine the most likely cause of these issues.

How To Keep Your Cylinder In Top Shape

While we offer great deals on an aftermarket Mahindra Power Steering Cylinder, this part, as well as other aftermarket Mahindra Tractor Power Steering Parts, can be pricey. To keep your cylinder in good condition for as long as possible, we recommend taking the following steps.

1. Keep Hydraulic Fluid Clean

Contamination is the main cause of steering cylinder failure, and replacing the hydraulic fluid at regular intervals is crucial. Use high-quality hydraulic fluid, and make sure the fluid is always at the proper level.

If you notice that the fluid is milky or dark, or if you notice grit or debris, we definitely recommend replacing the hydraulic fluid as soon as possible. Dirty fluid damages seals and scores the cylinder bore, leading to leaks and a loss of pressure.

2. Keep The Cylinder Clean

Not to get too dramatic about it, but debris is the silent killer of all hydraulic components. After a busy day of operating in mud or dusty conditions, we recommend wiping down the cylinder. Avoid pressure washing directly at the seals, though, as this can force water inside the cylinder. If possible, store your tractor in a covered area, as this prevents debris from getting into the engine and protects the tractor, in general, from the elements, which can take a toll.

3. Inspect Seals & Rods Frequently

The Seals and Rods are the most vulnerable components of the Power Steering Cylinder, so it’s important to check for oil residue or wet spots around the cylinder ends. Also, be sure to check for any pitting or rust.

If you notice a minor leak, replace the seals as quickly as possible to prevent more serious issues. We have affordable Power Steering Cylinder Seal Kits in our aftermarket Mahindra Tractor Parts Catalog, making it easy to swap out damaged seals when needed. Keep in mind, a damaged rod will destroy new seals quickly, so give the rod a good assessment to ensure it’s in good condition before replacing the seals.

4. Avoid Overloading The Tractor

Excess strain shortens cylinder life and also can damage other tractor systems and components. Don’t exceed the tractor’s load capacity, and be careful when using front-end loaders as heavy front-end loads increase steering resistance. We also recommend that you avoid turning the wheels while stationary when you are under a heavy load.

5. Maintain Proper Alignment & Linkages

Misalignment creates uneven pressure and premature wear, so be sure to:
Inspect tie rods, steering arms, and bushings
Replace worn linkage components promptly
Ensure the cylinder is mounted correctly and not under side load

6. Change Hydraulic Filters Often

Filters protect the entire hydraulic system, including the steering cylinder. Be sure to replace these at regular intervals, and perhaps more often if you are working in hot, dirty conditions.

If you need an aftermarket Mahindra Hydraulic Filter, we have affordable options on our website. We have a full selection of top-quality aftermarket Mahindra Tractor Filters, including a Mahindra Oil Filter, Mahindra Air Filter, and Mahindra Fuel Filter. Ensuring that filters are clean is one of the best and easiest ways to protect your tractor and prolong its life.

7. Monitor Operating Conditions

Extreme conditions accelerate wear on your steering cylinder as well as many other tractor parts and systems. Avoid prolonged operation in very high heat, which breaks down fluid. In cold weather, allow the hydraulic system to warm up before heavy use. Watch for signs of overheating, such as sluggish or inconsistent steering.
