Abstract:
A hydraulic system for a machine includes a first pump, an implement pump, a control valve, and an auxiliary circuit. The first pump is configured to supply a first fluid flow to a first circuit, such as a steering circuit. The implement pump is configured to supply a second fluid flow to an implement circuit to actuate a primary implement function. The auxiliary circuit is configured to deliver fluid flow to actuate an auxiliary implement function. The auxiliary circuit is fluidly coupled to the implement circuit. The auxiliary circuit is also coupled to the first circuit by the control valve. The control valve is located downstream, in the direction of fluid flow, of the implement pump and the first pump. The control valve is configured to allow at least a portion of the first fluid flow to enter the auxiliary circuit and be delivered to the auxiliary implement function.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of operating a machine, the method comprising:\n providing power to a first pump configured to provide a first fluid flow to a first module configured to actuate functions of the machine; providing power to an implement pump configured to provide a second fluid flow to a primary function of an implement and an auxiliary function of the implement; receiving an input from a user control to actuate the primary function of the implement; sending an instruction to an implement valve to provide at least a portion of the second fluid flow to the primary function of the implement; receiving an input from the user control to actuate the first module; sending an instruction to a priority valve to provide at least portion of the first fluid flow to the first module; receiving an input from the user control to operate the auxiliary function of the implement; sending an instruction to the implement valve to provide at least a portion of the second fluid flow to the auxiliary function of the implement; monitoring a load of the first module; determining, based on the load, that the load has crossed a threshold load; and sending an instruction to the priority valve to divert at least a portion of the first fluid flow to a control valve configured to provide fluid to the auxiliary function of the implement; sending an instruction to the control valve to deliver at least a portion of the first fluid flow to the auxiliary function of the implement.
