English translation:hitch cylinder
Explanation:
why not: hydraulic cylinder controlling all upward movement. A tractor manual I once translated was riddled with these ...(although I have to say that whoever wrote the original English version of that manual was rather a long off a Booker prize...)

Als je jouw vertaling nog niet de deur uit hebt, zou ik toch nog even naar deze term kijken. Ik heb de indruk dat 'lift cylinder' de meest gebruikte term is. Zoek ook maar eens met Google.
