Mecanically Actuated Hydraulic Shut-off

I have a hydraulic/valve question--I hope this is the right forum. I need some sort of plunger operated hydraulic shut off valve.

We are developing a rotary mower that attaches to a skid steer loader. Hydraulicly powered, the mower must shut down when it is raised/lowered +/-20 degrees with respect to the tractor. Without electrical power, some sort of push/pull plunger to release the hydraulic pressure must be used. AT least, I can not think of anything else.

My question is such a valve available and by whom? I am also skeptical about how responsive this setup would be; ie start to shut off at 15 deg and then be completely off at 25 degrees. It would be desireable to be on at 19 degrees and off at 21 degrees--in other words, once it trips it would trip fast and then reset itself.

A few details about the system.....
1000 rpm
32 gpm
2000 psi useable pressure

Any ideas?

Thanks
