Hey Joe.....yes pressure does have its advantages....the only way to increase pressure with what I'm working with is to increase pump RPM, if the resistance or load isn't there the system will not make more pressure. The open center valve pressure with the controls in neutral is zero...I'll bet with your system the pressure is always at operating pressure. This build might be bigger than your 850 but I'm hoping to run it on half the pressure, so I have over sizes the cylinders to somewhat compensate for running a lower operating pressure...this may end up being a bad idea....lol
