</font><font color="blue" class="small">( So I ate the cost and started installing pressure relief’s at the pump )</font>
That works for the honest 'accidents'.. like it looking sealed but not being sealed, etc.
However it won't protect against this:
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( It worked fine except customers would pull the disconnects apart while taking the loader off or the like and let it run for 20 min or so )</font>
Which is plain stupidity... and as you said about 'customer / idiot' proofing... idiots are pretty clever.. hard to trick them.
I'm a fan of hard plumbed lines and integral relief valves setup where you cannot seperate the lines from the relief without opening the oil flow to the outside world.. and -0- back pressure, or fixed threaded inlines that don't just 'look' connected.
I've only got a coule hyd lines on my loader... and I can pop them off with a wrench in a couple minutes.. etc. And i don't blow up pumps.. I figure the trade off of needing a wrench or two and a couple minutes, vs qd's, 1 minute, and a blown pump hang pretty close... Course.. I'm a bit utilitarian when it comes to tractors.. I prefer a gear tranny to those hydro's.. etc.
