Planters require precise, stable, and synchronized hydraulic control to ensure accurate seed placement and consistent row spacing. Unlike heavy lifting equipment, planter hydraulic cylinders must deliver smooth motion, precise positioning, and reliable sealing performance under continuous field operation.

Our Custom Planter Hydraulic Cylinders are engineered for modern agricultural planters, supporting row unit lifting, folding systems, marker arms, depth adjustment mechanisms, and transport position control.

Typical Applications

Row Unit Lift Cylinder

Used to raise and lower planting row units during operation and transport.

Key Features:

• Smooth and controlled lifting motion

• Compact design for limited installation space

• Low internal leakage for stable positioning

• Durable rod surface for long-term field use

Folding Wing Cylinder

Applied in large multi-row planters to fold and unfold wings for transportation.

Key Features:

• High structural strength

• Stable synchronization performance

• Reinforced mounting design

• Impact-resistant cushioning system

Marker Arm Cylinder

Controls the extension and retraction of marker arms to ensure accurate row alignment.

Key Features:

• Fast response

• Precise extension control

• Reliable sealing in dusty environments

• Lightweight yet durable construction

Depth Adjustment Cylinder

Used to control planting depth for different soil conditions.

Key Features:

• Fine positioning capability

• Smooth movement without jerking

• Strong resistance to vibration

• Long service life under repetitive cycles

Technical Requirements for Planter Cylinders

Planters operate in dusty soil environments with constant vibration and repetitive movement. Hydraulic cylinders must offer:

• High sealing reliability against soil and debris

• Corrosion-resistant surface treatment

• Stable operation under frequent cycling

• Compact and lightweight structural design

• Consistent performance during long planting seasons

Precision is critical to ensure uniform seed depth and spacing, directly affecting planting efficiency.
