A hydraulic circuit is disclosed that provides a wide variety of flow options. A hydraulic system includes a first pump, a second pump, an auxiliary passage, and a supplemental apparatus. The first pump is in fluid communication with a first valve, and the second pump is in fluid communication with a second valve. The auxiliary passage is in fluid communication with the first valve and the second valve. The supplemental apparatus is in fluid communication, by way of a supplemental passage, with the second valve and the auxiliary passage. The supplementary apparatus can take a wide variety of forms, variously including a dump valve, an additional pump, a relief valve, and other components, and thereby reconfigure the hydraulic circuit to provide a greater and more flexible variety of flow rates and pressures that can be applied to the auxiliary passage. The auxiliary passage may be in fluid communication with a third valve. A power machine incorporating an integrated hydraulic system is also disclosed, which uses a hydraulic circuit having a supplemental apparatus for a variety of advantageous uses.
