    position sensing hydraulic steering.

    Hi kjc. Well, no, I really dont "need" joystick steering. And I do allready have the char-lynn valve and pump. But since I'll be having a joystick anyway for the other steering, and the speed control, I figured I could save a lot of space and maybe simplify the plumbing if I were to incorperate...

    position sensing hydraulic steering.

    The machines approximate maximum ground speed will be about 12mph. It is on rubber tracks. There are several pictures of it in the link I posted. The controls will be in a small toyota pickup cab. Because of the nature of the extra long trackframes on such a narrow track guage, there will be...

    Thanks for taking the time to make the replies. I'm still hoping to get this done without going out of my comprehension abilities too far. Mike, I could learn to drive it easily enough with a standard joystick directional control valve, but if I were to have to put someone completely new in...

    Thanks hydromech. Yes, I'll give as many details as I can. Ok, perhaps "position sensing" is the wrong term. I apologize if it is. What I'd like to accomplish is to have the joystick act in a very simular action as a steering wheel. By that I mean, let's say that travelling straight foward has...
