Abstract

A control system for the boom and bucket operation system on a front end loader that includes an unloader valve responsive to pilot valve pressure to bypass hydraulic fluid pumped by an auxiliary pump to the reservoir while maintaining the primary pump supply to a loader valve which supplies pressure to the boom and bucket cylinders in response to the operation of pilot valves. The unloader valve bypasses the auxiliary pump flow when the pressure is below a predetermined value and when the pressure is above a second higher predetermined value.
