Abstract: A fluid distribution system and method for mobile applications. The system includes a power source, a pump driven by the power source, and a motor driven by the pump. The system also includes a spray head with a fluid inlet passage, a fluid outlet passage, a fluid piston disposed in a chamber for controlled access between the inlet and outlet passages and defining a variable orifice, and a hydraulic cylinder controllably engaged to the orifice. The fluid piston and the hydraulic cylinder are aligned with a common longitudinal axis, and the inlet passage is offset from the axis in a direction opposed to the location of the outlet passage.

Abstract: A hydraulically driven utility vehicle which supports and powers work attachments. An electronic system is incorporated in the vehicle for having the vehicle traverse the ground at a selected speed and for operating the attachment at a selected speed so that the work of the attachment can be performed in a uniform rate, as desired.

Abstract: A method and system for a hydraulic drive for a vehicle wherein when one of the vehicle traction wheels is in a frictionless spin mode, then the hydraulic pressure is subjected to the action of the fuse which directs the pressure or increase in hydraulic flow to the remaining wheel or wheels for traction drive. The system can be used in either the forward or reverse drive mode.
