    Adding load sense to a plain valve

    I am thinking that my scheme will cause the pump to not see a difference in P and LS pressure. Therefore when I turn on the LS solenoid it will immediately ramp up to maximum pressure. Is that right? If so would I be better off connecting the solenoid and check valve to A/B? If so, how would I...

The tractor has a closed center pressure-flow compensated system that has a load sense port. The pump has a max output of 25 GPM at 2,500 PSI...
