Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to repair a backhoe cylinder in Chicago?

The average cost to repair a backhoe cylinder ranges from $500 for a simple seal replacement to over $2,000 if the rod or barrel needs replacement. The specific parts and labor required will determine the total price.

How long does a backhoe cylinder repair take?

Do backhoes’ cylinders have any features affecting the repair process?

Features affecting repair: the cylinder's size, whether it's single or double acting, the rod coating (chrome), seal types (urethane, welded), and other factors impact the repair process. Our technicians account for these when servicing cylinders.
