Description

Nothing beats fresh air flowing through your cab on a hot day in the field, but when your roof strut gives up, that heavy sunroof hatch becomes a real pain to manage. You’re left fighting with a heavy sunroof hatch when you need ventilation during dusty field work or trying to prop it open with whatever’s handy in the cab. This 230mm gas strut with 180N pressure brings back the smooth, controlled operation your roof needs to keep you comfortable during those long working days.

What You’re Getting

230mm length sized perfectly for your tractor’s roof configuration
180N pressure rating engineered specifically for these roof weights and operating angles
Reliable lifting assistance that makes opening and closing smooth and effortless
Sealed construction that maintains consistent pressure through temperature swings
Ball socket end fittings for secure, easy installation

Built for Real Farm Work

This strut fits a wide range of Case IH tractors from compact utility models like the CX series up through the heavy-duty Maxxum machines, plus Fiat Winner series and McCormick CX and MTX tractors. Whether you’re running a smaller tractor for livestock work or a big row-crop machine for planting and cultivating, these tractors spend long days in dusty, hot conditions where cab ventilation isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Made to Last

The sealed design maintains proper pressure despite temperature swings from cold morning startups to hot afternoon work sessions, ensuring consistent, reliable operation season after season. Gas struts contain pressurized gas and must be replaced as complete units—they’re built to handle thousands of open-close cycles without losing effectiveness.

Good to Know

Replacing a gas strut takes minutes but requires careful attention to safety. Support the roof securely while swapping struts, and replace both struts at the same time – they wear at similar rates and mismatched struts cause uneven lifting. Clean mounting points thoroughly and check for wear before installing the new strut.
