The 2.5 inch x 18.0 inch WUC Series Welded Universal Cylinder is a premier hydraulic solution engineered for maximum compatibility across a vast range of industrial and agricultural machinery. Designed as a heavy-duty replacement for standard tie-rod or OEM cylinders, this unit features a high-tensile, hardened chrome-plated rod for superior wear resistance and long-term protection against the elements. Its universal cross-tube design makes it a versatile fit for equipment from major brands such as John Deere, Kubota, Bobcat, Case, New Holland, and Caterpillar. Whether you are upgrading a front-end loader, a log splitter, or complex manufacturing equipment, the 3500 PSI rated welded construction provides a significantly longer service life and higher pressure capacity than traditional bolt-together models. The precision-honed steel tube and advanced sealing system ensure a smooth, leak-free stroke even in the most demanding high-cycle environments.
