A dump body latching system for application to a self dumping hopper having a base platform, a rotatable dump body mounted thereto and a locking pin on the rotatable dump body is provided. The dump body latching system configured to control the rotation of the rotatable dump body thereon and includes a power source, an actuator assembly configured to selectively engage the locking pin to facilitate preventing rotation of the rotatable dump body, and a linear actuator assembly having an actuator rod configured for reciprocal motion into and out of an actuator housing. A controller is configured to connect the power source with the linear actuator to extend the actuator rod into contact with the actuator assembly and thereby rotate the actuator assembly to disengage the locking pin.
