Abstract: A system for reducing loader arm movement during operation of a work vehicle includes a sensor configured to capture data indicative of an angle of a loader arm of the vehicle relative to the vehicle chassis. A controller of the disclosed system is configured to control the operation of a valve of the vehicle such that fluid from a pump of the vehicle is supplied to first and second chambers of a fluid-driven actuator of the vehicle to initiate a ride control mode. Moreover, the controller is configured to monitor the angle of the loader arm relative to the chassis based on the data captured by the sensor.

Abstract: A system for controlling hydraulic fluid flow within a work vehicle includes a flow control valve fluidly coupled to a fluid supply conduit upstream of a hydraulic actuator such that the flow control valve is configured to control the flow rate of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator. Furthermore, the system includes a computing system configured to receive an input associated with a selected flow rate of the hydraulic fluid being supplied to the hydraulic actuator. Moreover, the computing system is configured to control an operation of the flow control valve such that flow control valve is at a maximum flow position at which an adjustable orifice defined by the valve has a maximum cross-sectional area. Additionally, the computing system is configured to control an operation of a pump such that the pump supplies the hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator through the adjustable orifice at the selected flow rate.
