ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reducing shock loads to an operator of a vehicle during turning movement is disclosed herein. The method consists of increasing the mass of an actuator connected to a control element which controls flow of hydraulic fluid to a fluid motor that produces turning movement for the vehicle. The increased mass is spaced from the fixed rotational axis for the actuator which results in an increased moment of inertia for the actuator that resists acceleration and deceleration of the actuator thereby resisting rapid changes in turning movements for the vehicle.
