Hi Allan,

It's nice to see that you got her goin'. You been busy at that rather than stirrin' the pot here, huh? (grin) That valve you have there just looks like what I know as a flow control valve. They also have one like that that is pressure compensated. I think what will happen is that if you lift your loader, with that particular valve you have, your steering may lock?? With the PC valve, it shouldn't, I think, mabey... Brain foggy now.... too late. Basically with the PC valve, you should be able to supply constant flow regardless of pressures in the excess circuit. I may be wrong in the descripotions somewat, but the difference is along those lines. I don't think you could actually automatically govern the flow without going to a closed center system either. Then the pump could just stroke out. With the open center, there will be trade offs, unless you go to a dedicated steering pump. However, what you have there now must be a beauty compared to "armstrong" steering. HTH. BTW, the tractor looks good, but I can't get over that loader It has some awful reach.
