Common causes include dirty oil, moisture inside the system, wrong fluid type, side loading from misaligned pins, and leaving rods extended in harsh weather. These conditions speed up pitting, scoring, and seal failure far earlier than normal use would.
Service life depends on how hard the equipment runs, how clean the oil stays, and whether the cylinder is protected from overloads. With regular checks and correct lubrication, a well-repaired unit can give strong service for many working seasons.
