Description
When your John Deere’s steering starts feeling heavy or requires two hands to turn at the headlands, you know the power steering ram is on its way out. There’s nothing worse than fighting a steering wheel during long fieldwork – whether you’re cultivating corn, running a planter across hundreds of acres, or maneuvering around the farmyard with a loaded loader. This replacement power steering ram brings back that effortless, one-finger steering that makes these big tractors manageable for operators of any age.
What You’re Getting
- Built with modern manufacturing techniques and materials that often exceed original specifications
- Precision-honed cylinder bore ensures smooth, consistent hydraulic action without the dead spots common in worn units
- Heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder construction designed to handle the demanding pressures of power steering systems
- Direct replacement part requiring no modifications – just remove the old one and install the new
- Chrome rod surface treatment resists scoring from dirt ingress, a common failure point when dust boots tear
Built for Real Farm Work
John Deere 7000 and 8000 series tractors represent the backbone of large-scale agricultural operations, delivering 160 to 350 horsepower for demanding field applications. Whether you’re running a 7200 pulling cultivation equipment, a 7710 with a heavy loader, or an 8300 handling primary tillage with massive implements, these tractors need reliable power steering to handle the workload safely and efficiently.
Made to Last
This steering ram uses modern manufacturing techniques and materials that often exceed original specifications, with modern seal materials that resist the deterioration that plagued original equipment. The precision-honed cylinder bore provides consistent hydraulic action without dead spots, ensuring your steering stays responsive season after season, even in dusty field conditions.
Installation Notes
Installation typically takes 1-2 hours, though you’ll want to have plenty of rags ready since hydraulic fluid goes everywhere. Before installing, check why your old ram failed – common causes include contaminated fluid, worn pump output, or damaged hoses, and addressing these issues prevents your new ram from failing. Bleed the system thoroughly after installation since air pockets cause jerky steering.
