Abstract
A hydraulic system includes a pressurized fluid supply, a plurality of non-priority elements each including a signal port and a supply port, at least one priority implement including a signal port and a supply port and a priority valve arrangement. The priority valve arrangement is adapted to receive fluid from the pressurized fluid supply and selectively apportion fluid between the supply port of the priority implement and the supply ports of the plurality of non-priority elements. The valve arrangement includes a signal circuit operative to establish a flow priority between the priority implement and the plurality of non-priority implements and the signal circuit is in fluid communication with the priority supply. The signal circuit includes a pilot portion and a dynamic load portion and the signal port of the priority implement is in fluid communication with the priority valve arrangement through the dynamic load portion of the signal circuit. The signal ports of the plurality of non-priority implements are in fluid communication with the priority supply, wherein the dynamic load signal and the load signal are substantially prevented from fluid communication with one another to …
