A fluid control system is disclosed that includes a first double-acting actuator and a second double-acting actuator. A first independent metering valve has a first control port connected to the first double-acting actuator, a second control port connected to the second double-acting actuator, first and second independently operable valves disposed between the inlet port and the first and second control ports, and a first check control mechanism having a main check valve between the inlet port and the first and second independently operable valves. The first check control mechanism controls the main check valve to allow the first and second actuators to operate in either an independent function mode or a regenerative function mode. A second independent metering valve has a first control port connected to the first double-acting actuator, a second control port connected to the second double-acting actuator, first and second independently operable valves disposed between the inlet port and the first and second control ports, and a main check valve disposed between the inlet port and the first and second independently operable valves.
