Abstract
A system for controlling hydraulic fluid flow within a work vehicle includes a pilot conduit fluidly configured to receive a pilot flow of the hydraulic fluid from a fluid supply conduit such that an operation of a compensator valve is controlled based on a pressure of the pilot flow. Furthermore, the system includes a pilot conduit valve configured to adjust the pressure of the pilot flow within the pilot conduit. A computing system is configured to determine the pressure of the hydraulic fluid within the fluid supply conduit downstream of the flow control valve based on the data captured by a pressure sensor. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to control an operation of the pilot conduit valve to selectively adjust the pressure of the pilot flow within the pilot conduit based on the determined pressure.
