No, not boring at all. Anything that helps me thing this stuff through is good.
Where I was coming from is trying to think through how tractor hydraulics would perform with an accumulator that is large in relation to the pump. I thought that quite a fair amount of force would be lost when the system operated with depleted accumulators. I also thought that the way tractors are used creates very unpredictable demands, and only the use of large accumulators would ensure that something close to max system pressure was maintained. I wondered, and still do, if that would be good design for a tractor.
Mine was a think piece. I agree with Roy that everything said so far is true. All this stuff is helpful to me, and I hope others as well. Sort of like the safety subjects. I think it's really important to get how this stuff works firmly in mind.
