Hi-Spec tankers have the right specs

Modern cab tractors don’t always lend themselves to the age-old method of pulling ropes to release transport or folding functions on mounted or trailed implements.
Otorohanga’s Giltrap Engineering has addressed this problem on its linkage-mounted G2 bale feeders, with the option of a new hydraulic headstock release system.
Using a single-acting hydraulic cylinder, the bale feeder can be quickly detached from the fork cradle, allowing bales to be loaded quickly and safely from the tractor seat. This speeds up cycle times.
Re-attachment requires the bale forks to be reversed under the feeder body, where a spring-loaded locking system ensures the unit is locked in place.
The unit is available for retro-fitment to existing Giltrap bale feeders.
