How does hydraulic pressure get from the hydraulic pump, through the turret (which freely spins in any direction), down to the final drives?

There are a few different solutions to this. Most of them are based on long hydraulic lines. These can indeed get twisted if the excavators turn too far. One revolution is not enough though. Some excavators have physical stops preventing it from rotating too far, some just rely on the operators being properly trained.
