Good point- that's where I was trying to steer in terms of the extra capacity reservoir that GRSthegreat uses for his hydraulics to keep the temp down by using additional hyd fluid to keep it from overheating when running hi demand implements.
This is actually my point with the backhoe. When I'm in the diggn' mood, there's never a moment where multiple cylinders aren't using fluid. Swing cylinders, dipper stick, boom, bucket, they're all filling/emptying at the same time. I'm not sure what the difference would be with a hydraulic motor. You take a break from digging to move the tractor and you take a break from drilling for the same reason. The tractor isn't in motion for either task.
It's actually an important issue to me, I'm planning to put a broom on the front of my tractor in the next year or two to clear the rink in the winter. It will be continuous use while the tractor is moving, so I need to make sure my tractor is up to it.
