    FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to hydrostatic drive lines including accumulators and methods to optimize their operation.
    BACKGROUND Vehicles incorporating a conventional hydrostatic drive line have many benefits over vehicles having a conventional drive line. Such vehicles having the conventional hydrostatic drive line may be well suited for tasks such as pushing loads, lifting loads, or digging, for example. The conventional hydrostatic drive line can provide the vehicle with a high torque output, excellent response to entry from an operator, and the ability to provide power to actuators and equipment that may be attached to the vehicle. However, the conventional hydrostatic drive line can result in the vehicle being inefficient, restricted to a narrow speed range, and including expensive and specialized components. Typically, the conventional hydrostatic drive line is driven by an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is selected to accommodate the vehicle's peak power demand. Consequently, the internal combustion engine is excessively large for most of the vehicle's required tasks, such as moving when the vehicle is in an unloaded state or light tasks. Losses can be recurrent in the conventional hydrostatic drive line itself, through the inefficiencies that can be present in hydraulic pumps or other components. Because the internal combustion engine is typically excessively large and losses are typically present on the conventional hydrostatic drive line, the vehicle's efficiency can be compromised. The high torque output that accompanies the conventional hydrostatic drive line can restrict the vehicle to the narrow speed range. The range of
    '. 2/31 conventional hydrostatic drive line is well suited, but such a speed range 7 can severely restrict the vehicle. Crossing long distances to the vehicle can limit productivity and result in operator dissatisfaction.
    The conventional hydrostatic drive line can include costly and specialized components, such as large hydraulic pumps, engines, and valve systems manufactured in small quantities. Inclusion of such components in the conventional hydrostatic drive line can greatly increase an initial vehicle cost. Furthermore, as a result, a service cost associated with the vehicle can increase greatly. The conventional hydrostatic drive line including costly and specialized components can greatly increase vehicle acquisition and maintenance costs.
    It would be advantageous to develop a hydrostatic drive line for a vehicle that is efficient, can be operated over a wide speed range and is comprised of components that are easily found and supplied.
