When you’re trying to check engine oil on your 6R series tractor and the hood feels like it weighs a ton, you know your gas strut is giving out. A good bonnet strut makes all the difference between easy daily maintenance and wrestling with a heavy hood that won’t stay up. This replacement gets your engine compartment access back to the way it should be—smooth operation and safe, reliable hold when you need both hands free for checking filters or fluids.
What You’re Getting
- 825 Newton force rating provides exactly the lift assistance these heavy hoods need
- 635mm length with proper stroke gives you full control through the entire opening range
- Heavy-duty sealing keeps consistent pressure whether you’re working in summer heat or winter cold
- Controlled closing action prevents hood slamming and protects expensive engine components underneath
Built for Real Farm Work
This strut is engineered for the substantial engine hoods on John Deere 6R series tractors. Whether you’re doing daily checks on your 6110R, seasonal service on your 6125R, or troubleshooting engine issues on your 6130R, having reliable hood support means you can focus on the work instead of fighting equipment. These tractors see hard use in everything from precision farming operations to custom work where quick field repairs matter.
Made to Last
Farm equipment takes a beating, and bonnet struts are no exception. This one’s built with internal sealing that maintains proper pressure through temperature swings and thousands of open-close cycles. The 825N rating isn’t just a number—it’s precisely calculated to handle these heavy hoods while ensuring controlled operation that won’t stress the hood mechanism or mounting points.
Installation Notes
This fits the 6105R through 6130R models with direct replacement mounting. Always support the hood manually during installation—these heavy bonnets can drop unexpectedly once you disconnect the old strut. The ball joint connections typically snap into place, but test the full range of motion after installation to make sure everything operates smoothly and holds position when fully open.
