Frequently Asked Questions

Should I rebuild my John Deere forestry hydraulic cylinder or replace the whole cylinder?

It depends on the condition of the rod and barrel. If the rod and barrel are straight and not scored, a full seal rebuild kit with new seals, wipers, and glands will often restore the cylinder. If the rod is bent or the barrel is pitted, a new complete cylinder is the better choice. Broken Tractor carries both new cylinders and full rebuild kits for John Deere forestry machines.

How do I know which hydraulic cylinder fits my John Deere skidder?

Match the bore, stroke, and pin diameter of your existing cylinder before ordering. We carry boom, arm, tilt, grapple, blade, and steering cylinders for John Deere skidders including the 540G, 548G, 640L, 648L, 748L, and 848L. Because fitment can vary by serial number, confirm the part number or reach the parts team at (800) 909-7060.

What is included in a John Deere forestry hydraulic cylinder rebuild kit?

Our seal rebuild kits include the seals, wipers, and glands needed to reseal the cylinder. They are matched to specific bore and rod dimensions, so verify those measurements before ordering. Broken Tractor offers full seal kits for boom, arm, grapple, blade, and steering functions.

Do you carry hydraulic cylinders for John Deere feller bunchers and forwarders?

Yes. We carry new cylinders and rebuild kits for John Deere feller bunchers such as the 643L, 643L-II, 843L, and 843L-II, as well as forwarders including the 1010G, 1210G, 1510G, and 1910G. Confirm the bore, stroke, and pin diameter to match the correct cylinder for your hydraulic function.

What parts make up a John Deere forestry hydraulic cylinder?

A complete cylinder is built from the rod, barrel, piston, gland, seals, and wipers. When a seal fails you can often service the cylinder with a rebuild kit, while worn rods or barrels usually call for a new complete cylinder. Broken Tractor stocks both options for John Deere forestry machines.
