Description
Ever tried climbing into your tractor cab only to have that heavy door slam shut on you just when you need it to stay open? When door struts fail, that heavy cab door becomes a real pain – literally if it catches you on the way down, and you’ll be fighting with doors that slam shut on you or won’t stay open on their own. This 300 Newton gas strut brings back the smooth, controlled door operation your Massey or Renault/Claas had when new, making every trip in and out of the cab safer and more convenient.
What You’re Getting
- 300 Newton force rating provides the exact lifting force needed to hold your door safely while allowing smooth, controlled closing – the rating isn’t arbitrary, it’s precisely calculated for these cab doors’ weight and geometry
- 255mm length with 130mm ram stroke fits your tractor’s door travel exactly
- Built to maintain consistent performance despite demanding farm conditions with constant vibration, temperature extremes, and exposure to dust and moisture – the sealed construction protects internal components
- Cold weather tested – maintains pressure even when temperatures drop and gas pressure would normally decrease in cheaper struts
Built for Real Farm Work
These tractors see lots of in-and-out action during daily operations – feeding cattle, hooking up implements, checking equipment, or grabbing tools from the cab. Your Massey Ferguson 3000, 3100, or 3600 series, or your Renault/Claas Cergos or Ergos tractor’s door gets opened dozens of times daily, and these heavy doors with their safety glass need proper support to stay open reliably, especially when you’re left propping doors with sticks or dealing with doors that won’t stay open on slopes.
Made to Last
Using the wrong Newton rating is dangerous – under-rated struts allow doors to fall potentially causing serious injury, while over-rated struts can stress hinges, bend doors, or shatter glass. The 300N rating for this application was determined by the manufacturer for safe operation. Check the Newton rating of your existing gas strut before ordering a replacement, as using a gas strut with a lower or higher Newton rating can result in damage or glass breakage.
Installation Notes
Replacing a gas strut takes minutes but requires careful attention to safety – always support the door securely before removing the old strut as these doors are heavier than they look and can slam shut unexpectedly. The ball socket ends typically snap onto mounting studs with firm pressure, though sometimes the old ones are stubborn after years of service. Many operators replace door struts in pairs to ensure balanced operation and prevent uneven wear on door hinges.
