Description
There’s nothing more frustrating than wrestling with a heavy tractor hood when you’re trying to check the oil or coolant levels during a busy day. A worn-out gas strut can make hood access dangerous and difficult, and using the wrong force rating can result in damage or glass breakage. This 600 Newton bonnet gas strut from Stabilus keeps your Massey Ferguson’s hood supported exactly where you need it.
What You’re Getting
- 600 Newton force rating specifically calibrated for these heavier Massey Ferguson hoods
- 885mm overall length with 395mm stroke for full hood opening capability
- Ball and socket joints on both ends for smooth operation and easy installation
- Stabilus quality construction that handles the heat, vibration, and weather exposure around the engine bay
- Direct replacement for your original equipment strut with no modifications needed
Built for Serious Farm Work
This strut fits the larger Massey Ferguson tractors in the 6400 series (6497 and 6499 models) and 8200 series (8240, 8250, and 8260 models). These are serious workhorses used for heavy tillage, large-scale planting, and big implement work where regular hood access is essential for daily maintenance checks and seasonal service.
Made to Last
Stabilus is the original equipment manufacturer for many tractor brands, so you’re getting the same quality that came on your tractor from the factory. The sealed nitrogen gas chamber maintains consistent pressure through temperature swings, and the chrome-plated rod resists corrosion from engine heat and weather exposure.
Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward with the ball and socket joints that snap into your existing mounting points. Always check the Newton rating of your existing gas strut before ordering—using incorrect force ratings can cause hood damage or safety issues. Support the hood while removing the old strut, and make sure the new one operates smoothly through its full range before calling the job done.
