    Are those nitrogen accumulators up on the front of the neck, for shock absorption?

    ETA: After looking a bit closer they appear to be a series of dogs that carries the load rather than the cylinders, but I really have no idea.....hence the question.

    your second take is correct

    there are 4 air pins by per side that lock in the neck height to carry the pressure when going down the road - that way if the hydraulics bleed off the crap doesn’t fall or climb

    there are also pins in the vertical of the neck to lock the schnabel in n place
     
    Tug Toy, cke and Oxbow Thank this.
