Abstract:
A vehicle and a hydraulic propulsion system for the vehicle are provided with first and second motors diagonally arranged relative to one another on the vehicle, and third and fourth motors diagonally arranged relative to one another on the vehicle. First, second and third flow divider combiner assemblies are provided and are arranged in a closed fluid loop with the motors. A first port of each of the assemblies are fluidly connected to one another. The first assembly has a second port fluidly coupled to the first and second motors, and a third port fluidly coupled to the third and fourth motors. The second assembly has second and third ports fluidly coupled to the first and third motors, respectively. The third assembly has second and third ports fluidly coupled to the second and fourth motors, respectively. A method of controlling the hydraulic system is also provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle comprising:\n a chassis having first and second opposite sides extending between third and fourth opposite sides; first and second wheels cooperating to provide a first pair of wheels positioned along the first side of the chassis; third and fourth wheels cooperating to provide a second pair of wheels positioned along the second side of the chassis, wherein the third wheel is arranged diagonally relative to the first wheel on the chassis, and wherein the fourth wheel is arranged diagonally relative to the second wheel on the chassis; and a closed loop hydraulic system comprising:\n a pump, \n first, second, third, and fourth hydraulic motors drivingly connected to the first, second, third, and fourth wheels, respectively, to rotate the associated wheel, \n a first flow divider-combiner assembly having a first port fluidly connected to the pump, a second port fluidly connected to the first and third hydraulic motors, and a third port fluidly connected to the second and fourth hydraulic motors, \n a second flow divider-combiner assembly having a first port fluidly connected to the pump, a second port fluidly connected to the first hydraulic motor, and a third port fluidly connected to the second hydraulic motor, and \n a third flow divider-combiner assembly having a first port fluidly connected to the pump, a second port fluidly connected to the third hydraulic motor, and a third port fluidly connected to the fourth hydraulic motor.
