ABSTRACT:
A hdydrostatic load sense vehicle steering system which directs fluid from a source to a hydrostatic steering circuit that includes a steering controller, and to an auxiliary circuit. Fluid control means responds to fluid pressures in a pilot circuit to direct priority flow to the steering circuit and excess flow to the auxiliary circuit. The pilot circuit includes a first pilot conduit that communicates with a load sense port of the steering controller. The steering controller controls fluid pressures in the pilot circuit in accordance with the condition of the steering circuit. A second pilot conduit communicates a pressure signal in accordance with the condition of the auxiliary circuit to the fluid control means. The second pilot conduit also communicates through a bleed orifice with the load sense port of the steering controller. When the controller is in neutral, it directs the pilot fluid from its load sense port to a reservoir. When the controller moves away from neutral, it restricts pilot flow to the reservoir to provide a pressure signal in the pilot circuit that indicates a need for flow and pressure in the steering circuit.
