I have a primero 8 forwarding trailer with the ability to add a hydraulic cylinder to articulate the tongue.  As of now there is just a steel plate that locks it.  I am looking to add a cylinder and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the cylinder  bore should be.

Do you have a pic of the connection points and have a measure of the "throw" that the cyl needs?

Bolt/pin diam might be an indication to cylinder size/bore too. But someone may have that trailer and/or have a parts manual for the Primero 8.

In this video, can be seen a steering cylinder, that smacks to me of 2", near the end where the steering cylinder feature is shown.  This is on a Farmi Primero 9000 so may not apply.

I tried the dealer route.  they didn't seem to want to help couldn't give me specs just a part number and what it costs. I pull it with a international 504 (50hp).  I was kinda just hoping someone on here had one and could let me know.

That dealer is a big help.   ::) I know of a couple like that. I don't have that color now.  ;)

I thought you could maybe decipher the size from that video. Guess not.

Im pretty sure the trailer in the video uses 2 cylinders, one on each side, where mine only uses one I found the parts schematic for that one on the farmi website.  I would think that would mean they would use two smaller ones.
