Tractor Loader Cylinder Safety Stops: Essential Safety and Convenience for Every Tractor Owner

When it comes to maintaining and servicing your tractor, safety should always be a top priority. One of the most significant hazards is working around the tractor's loader arms. These arms can pose a serious risk if they accidentally move while you're working on the engine or other components. That’s where tractor loader cylinder safety stops come into play. These stops are a simple yet effective solution to ensure your safety and make maintenance tasks more manageable. Let's delve into why these safety stops are a must-have for every tractor owner.

Why Tractor Loader Cylinder Safety Stops Are Worth Every Penny

If you've been following my videos and blogs for a while, you know how much emphasis I place on safety. Tractor loader cylinder safety stops are a fantastic safety device, easy to install, and a worthy investment. They provide a mechanical solution to keep the loader arms safely in the air while you work, eliminating the risk of accidental drops.

Easy Installation in Just a Few Minutes

One of the best features of these safety stops is how easy they are to install. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Lift the Loader: Start by lifting the loader all the way to the top using the joystick until the cylinders are fully extended. If you’re working indoors, make sure there is enough clearance.
  2. Insert the Stops: Once the cylinders are fully extended, insert each hydraulic cylinder stop tube and pin them securely in place.
  3. Lower the Loader: Gently lower the loader arms until they rest on the stops. This ensures the loader is safely supported.

Note: Remember to remove any front loader attachments before servicing the tractor. The stops will not prevent attachments from coming down in the event of a mechanical failure, accidental joystick movement, or a hydraulic leak.

Heavy Duty and Available in Multiple Sizes

These safety stops are built to last. Made from heavy 7-gauge metal and powder-coated in bright yellow for visibility, they are robust and durable. They come in three sizes to fit different loader cylinder rams:

  • 15” length: Ideal for most sub-compact tractors.
  • 17” length: Fits many compact and utility tractors.
  • 20” length: Suitable for some compact and many utility tractors.

Measure your cylinders when fully extended from the top of the barrel to the point where the ram is not circular around the circumference, and choose a set of stops just under that length. The price includes a pair of stops, safety wire snap locking pins, and shipping.

Additional Safety Products for Tractor Owners

While you’re enhancing your tractor's safety with loader cylinder stops, consider other valuable safety products we offer:

  • Roll Bar LED Light: This magnet-attached light is perfect for extending your workday past sunset, providing ample illumination for nighttime tasks.
