Formika, not to get too far off topic but how did you steer it manually? I would have guessed the torque of the engine would have been too much to counter unless you are going very slow.

Are most hydraulic systems designed to have a failsafe condition in case a line bursts to prevent the engine from torqueing out of control?

I'm a big fan of hydraulic steering but have always wondered about that scenario.

Thanks!

John
