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 19):
The method of  claim 16  further comprising:\n connecting first and second wheels on a first axle to the first and fourth hydraulic motors, respectively; \n connecting third and fourth wheels on a second axle to the second and third hydraulic motors, respectively; \n fluidly connecting the at least one pump to the first and second hydraulic motors via a flow divider device to direct the first portion of the fluid flow received by the device from the at least one pump to the first and second motors; \n fluidly connecting the at least one pump to the third and fourth motors via the flow divider device to direct the second portion of the fluid flow received by the device from the at least one pump to the third and fourth motors; and \n in response to varying speeds of the first, second, third, and fourth motors as the vehicle is steered, providing varying fluid flow to the first, second, third, and fourth motors via the dividing and combining steps such that the first, second, third, and fourth wheels maintain traction through a vehicle turn.
