Other folks have covered your hydraulic question(s); I guess they've answered your cattle prod question,also, but I'll chime in. (They don't shock, btw, at least the ones I've used; they burn). If you're dealing with cattle who all have names, I doubt that you need a 'hot shot'. I would never use one to 'drive' cattle, no matter the circumstances, but.........if you're dealing with range cattle that are only corralled/worked 2 or 3 times a year, a hot shot can be a definite asset, ONLY when she's in the chute and balks about going further.......usually just as she's about to enter the head gate.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
