Default Re: Dozer wiring diagram

Has anyone tried a system that runs the hydraulic pump only when hydraulics are activated? Seems that some machine types (dump trucks, dozers?) would not have to run the pump all the time, saving batteries and reducing heat buildup in the oil. I was thinking about the hyd pump from India that seems to work best if run intermittantly.
What about running the pump with a motor ESC so hydraulic speed could be controlled easily and only run when needed?
Since I don't yet have any experience with RC electronics, don't know if these are viable alternatives or not.
