This hydraulic cylinder controls the position and tilt of the reel on a combine harvester header. It extends and retracts to adjust the reel’s fore-aft and height settings, ensuring the crop is properly fed into the cutterbar and auger. A worn or leaking cylinder causes inconsistent reel positioning, leading to uneven crop pickup and increased header losses. This original AGCO component is manufactured to the same bore and rod dimensions as the original assembly, so the internal seals and piston alignment match the housing without modification. On installation, ensure the hydraulic lines are purged of air and the mounting pins are secured to the specified torque.
