Assuming you're using pneumatics for the shifting and PTO, why not just go with a pneumatic deployment for the groud accumulator? Or am I guessing wrong for the application of the 550?
Correct.

We ran out of time and a versaplanetary was used instead of a more complicated pneumatic linkage. We have the extra solenoids on a manifold to do a pneumatic actuation if time permits and we feel it would be better.
