Currently my loader is setup with a single gear pump for the hydraulics and steering. I assume the boom/bucket valve is open center.
The orbital steering valve has a priority valve built onto it. The line from the pump goes to the steering 1st, then to the other valve. I must replace the steering valve and am considering one that does not have an integrated priority valve.
If i just leave the hydraulic lines as they are and replace the priority valve with a tee, will the steering still function normally if i am not operating the boom/bucket controls?
I do anticipate reduced steering performance if I operate the boom/bucket while steering.
Any special concerns?
Thanks
