These hydraulic systems are considered an Open Circuit. The pressure gauge needs to measure the pressure of the fluid flowing through the system. Here is a picture of the gauge on my JW03 backhoe. It is placed on top of the pressure relief valve where it is measuring the pressure at the point it comes into the backhoe valve assembly. Whenever I move one of the controls, the gauge tells me what the pressure is in the system. If I run a control to its maximum movement, it tells me at what pressure the pressure relief valve cuts in to relieve the pressure.
