ABSTRACT:
A synchronized vehicle fluid drive system includes a vehicle, a pair of hydraulic motors operative to drive the opposite sides of the vehicle, a dual source of fluid pressure, a pair of open loop circuits individually communicating with the sources of fluid pressure and individually having a distributor valve for selectively communicating its respective fluid pressure source with one of said motors for operation thereof, and an equalizing line disposed in fluid communication intermediate the open loop circuits for assuring that the input flow to each of the motors is substantially the same when straight line travel of the vehicle is desired. Advantageously, a blocking valve may be disposed in the equalizing line for deactivating it upon receiving a steering signal.
