A Smarter Valve for Tougher Jobs: The Dura OEM Replacement Actuator/Valve

At Barndoor Ag, we know that when your equipment fails, you don’t have time to wait around for a fix. Whether you’re out spraying, irrigating, or just trying to beat the weather, every part of your operation needs to work right the first time—and that includes your valves. That’s why more and more of our customers are turning to the Dura OEM Replacement Actuator/Valve. It’s fast, tough, and built to keep pace with today’s farming demands.

It might look simple, but this actuator and valve combination delivers powerful performance where it matters most: in the field. With a quick response time, a rugged build, and a design that works with major sprayer brands, it’s no wonder farmers are making the switch.

Ready for the Elements, and Everything Else

Let’s face it—farming doesn’t happen in ideal conditions. That’s why the Dura actuator and valve are engineered to stand up to heat, cold, mud, and moisture without blinking. With an IP68 waterproof rating and a wide operating temperature range down to -32°F, it’s one of the few actuators that you can truly rely on no matter the season.

What sets it apart even more is how it’s built. The housing and internal components use glass-filled materials and high-grade seals, giving it serious longevity in the face of chemical exposure and vibration. One Barndoor Ag customer mentioned they’d gone through two other actuators before trying the Dura—and haven’t looked back since. If you’re tired of replacing valves every season, this could be the upgrade your system’s been waiting for.

Install It Once, and It Just Works

One of the biggest frustrations we hear from farmers is how long it can take to replace or upgrade a valve system. That’s where the Dura actuator really shines. It’s designed for quick, no-fuss installation. The 4-pin Deutsch connector matches up perfectly with most modern wiring harnesses, and the included mounting bracket fits straight onto compatible sprayers—no drilling, no rewiring, no surprises.

Compatible with John Deere®, AGCO®, and Hagie® equipment, the actuator can be installed in either in-line or 90-degree positions. That kind of flexibility means you can count on it to fit into your setup without the need for extra adapters or fabrication.

One of our customers told us they installed it in less than 10 minutes and had it running the same afternoon. It’s the kind of plug-and-play solution that saves time when you need it most.

Built for Speed, Made for Control

Speed might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to valves—but it should be. With an on/off response time of just 0.8 seconds, this actuator delivers precise control over your liquid applications. That can mean better coverage, fewer missed spots, and ultimately more efficient use of your inputs.

There’s also a simple but smart design detail we love: a built-in LED indicator that gives you instant feedback on valve position. No more guessing whether it’s open or closed. When you’re running late in the day or working in low light, that kind of feedback is a real time-saver. Pair this actuator with our lineup of precision ag tools, and you’ve got a system that works as hard as you do.
