The scenario
A tractor uses two independent hydraulic pumps: one dedicated to the steering system and one for implement functions, both drawing from a common reservoir and returning through a shared filter.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Separate relief valves on each pump discharge to protect against overpressure.
02
Common return filter to maintain oil cleanliness before returning to the reservoir.
03
Control valves (directional) direct flow to actuators, with return lines to the filter.
Reusable for any dual-pump hydraulic system where two circuits share a reservoir but operate independently, such as agricultural, construction, or industrial machinery.
