Whats better Manual steering or Power?

Good point; I'm not sure you can PUT 11 horsepower through a small, single V-belt.

I could be wrong, but if you're going in a straight line (like, down a drag strip), and the box is not doing any work, how can it absorb 11 hp?

Whatever the pump is creating in the way of pressure is just being by-passed, isn't it, as long as the wheel stays straight?

Somebody who's well-versed in this, help us out here, please.

Thanks for any info....
