Self Levelers

Can someone give me info. on potential problems. I have been told that if you spend a lot of time beach/shore camping that a coating of sand dust will stick to the piston which has a film of hydraulic fluid on it eventually leading to seal leaks.

Ive farmed 45 years. I had one big sweep plow with 10 cylinders. We had very few problems, although it would wear over time. Thr ouside seal is a wiper so of course its job is to clean off the shaft. The biggest problem are bear shafts out in elements during off season. Over time the shaft would pit and cause seal to leak. We would coat them would stuff designed for that purpose.

worse yet is the corrosion that the sea salt will do to them!
