Description
Nothing ruins a long day in the field faster than a rear window that won’t stay open when you need ventilation or slams shut unexpectedly while you’re backing up to an implement. Check newton rating of existing gas strut before ordering a replacement. Using a gas strut with a lower or higher newton rating can result in damage or glass breakage. This 175 Newton gas strut gets your rear window operating smoothly again, giving you the airflow and visibility you need during those demanding workdays.
Key Features
- 175 Newton force rating provides just the right lift assistance for smooth, controlled operation
- 560mm maximum length with 320mm minimum compressed length fits your tractor perfectly
- Heavy-duty sealed construction maintains pressure through temperature swings and tough conditions
- Direct replacement design – no modifications or adapters needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This strut fits the Renault/Claas Ares series tractors from the 500s through the 800s, plus the Atles series models. Whether you’re running a mid-size Ares 550 for hay work or a bigger Atles 936 for heavy tillage and planting, these are versatile machines that see action in everything from livestock operations to row crop farming. When you’re spending long hours in dusty conditions or need that rear visibility for backing implements, a properly working rear window makes all the difference.
Made to Last
Cold weather often reveals weak struts – the gas pressure drops and suddenly nothing stays open. The constant flexing, UV exposure through windows, and temperature extremes all contribute to eventual failure. This replacement is built to handle the demanding environment of agricultural work, with quality seals that keep working season after season.
Installation Notes
Installation involves supporting the rear window while disconnecting the old strut and connecting the new one to existing mounting points – most use ball joint connections that snap into place. Make sure to test the window operation after installation to ensure it opens smoothly through its full range and holds position securely at various opening angles. Always support the window before removing the old strut – they’re heavier than you think and can drop unexpectedly.
