Float and oscillation circuit for a mobile machine

Abstract

A mobile machine includes a frame, a plurality of crawlers coupled to the frame, a plurality of actuators operably coupled to the plurality of crawlers, and a fluid circuit configured to supply a working fluid to each actuator of the plurality of actuators. The fluid circuit includes a plurality of hard plumbed sub-circuits and a float sub-circuit. The plurality of hard plumbed sub-circuits are connected to the plurality of actuators to allow flow of the working fluid to and from the plurality of actuators. The floating sub-circuit interconnects the plurality of actuators and allows the working fluid to flow between the plurality of actuators. The floating sub-circuit includes floating valves that control the flow of the working fluid in the floating sub-circuit independent of the flow of the working fluid in the plurality of hard plumbed sub-circuits.
