[QUOTE="TriHonu, post: 30890, member: 897"] No problems as of now. The one I installed on my friends 753 has been solid also. However, this fall he managed to bend the shaft of the actuator while moving a bunch of small rip-rap (5-10 lb stones). He was going full tilt boogie for about 9 hours and didn't finish until after dark. He did not notice it until he got the machine home, and doesn't know how he bent it. The actuator still works but the shaft has a long bend in it. He hasn't been worried enough about it to bring it over. I told him we could probably straighten it out in about a half hour. The shaft is just a piece of tube. I'll tell you that replacing an actuator is a lot cheaper than replacing a Power Bobtach hydraulic cylinder. My dealer told me they sell a good number of these hydraulic cylinders each year. I'll compliment the Gehl engineers. The attachment plate for their machines is a different part than the standard mount. They have protected the actuator by recessing it in the bucket mount and protected it with additional plates.
