Take a look at the hand metering unit valve, also known as an orbitrol valve. It's a type of servo valve that quickly closes off its own flow after sending out the correct volume of fluid to the steering cylinders. This "correct volume" is based on the operator's need for a sharper or more gradual turning radius, as you'll see in the video. We'll have more info about this system in our upcoming videos, so stay tuned and enjoy!
