Actually Greg, if you put the pump on an esc and use the dual rates that are on most radios, you can mix each valve function with the pump. The more you move the proportional ch of the valve, the more the valve opens & the faster the pump electric motor runs. Proportional ch centered (neutral), valve closed & electric pump motor is off! Pretty slick way of setting up a hydra system for max run times. I learned that trick from Ole & the norwegian gang.

My Volvo adt is on an esc, Sabertooth 2x10, mix feature turned off. One esc runs the pump, the other runs the six wheel motors... though I haven't figured out the dual rates function on the cheap radio I'm using, i use the ratchet left stick to control pump speed. The hyd pump is probably 1/3 speed while driving straight & maybe 2/3's to turn quick in the corners.

Great work on the skidder Ben, it's taking shape nicely. :thumbs up:

I looked for your thread too, but I can't seem to find it either.
