Claim:
Equipment comprising a motorized vehicle; a hydraulic attachment that is connected to and co-operates with said motorized vehicle; and a wireless control system for said hydraulic attachment, said equipment comprises: a) a hydraulic power supply that is powered by said motorized vehicle; b) a hydraulic fluid supply system that provides hydraulic power under pressure to said hydraulic attachment; wherein said hydraulic fluid supply system includes at least one hydraulic fluid supply line and at least one hydraulic return line; c) an electrical generator that is attached to said hydraulic fluid supply system and which generates electricity when driven by hydraulic fluid supplied under pressure from said hydraulic supply system; d) a plurality of hydraulic control valves that are attached to said hydraulic fluid supply system and to said attachment; and wherein said wireless control system: (i) is connected to said generator and receives said electricity from said generator; (ii) communicates with said hydraulic control valves; and (iii) includes a wireless signal element that provides signals to actuate said hydraulic control valves; wherein a flow control valve is installed in said hydraulic fluid system at a point directly upstream of said electrical generator and a hydraulic flow divider splits said hydraulic fluid under pressure such that part of said hydraulic fluid under pressure is directed to said electrical generator and part of said hydraulic fluid under pressure bypasses said electrical generator.
