A hydraulic circuit is disclosed which includes one or more i) linear; or ii) rotary hydraulic actuator, wherein total number of cylinder chambers is N, M pressure rails, a valve arrangement, including M hydraulic rail ports each coupled to a pressure rail, N hydraulic chamber ports each coupled to a chamber of one or more actuators, N proportional valves each corresponding to one of the N hydraulic chamber ports, X sets of on-off valves and check valves coupling two or more hydraulic rail ports to each of supply sides of each of the N proportional valves, and Y sets of on-off valves and check valves coupling two or more hydraulic rail ports to each of return sides of each of the N proportional valves, and a controller configured to in real-time operate the N proportional valves and the associated on-off valves to achieve one or more desired functional parameters.

Method and system for a flow-isolated valve arrangement and a three-chamber cylinder hydraulic architecture

A hydraulic drive system for an agricultural implement includes a high pressure supply line configured to provide hydraulic fluid under pressure. The hydraulic drive system also includes a low pressure return line configured to return the hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic drive system further includes a plurality of hydraulic motors and coupled to the high pressure supply line. The hydraulic drive system still further includes a plurality of cylinder systems isolated from the high pressure supply line to minimize a supply pressure of the hydraulic fluid provided from a pump coupled to the high pressure supply line and to minimize throttling losses in the hydraulic drive system during operation of the hydraulic drive system.
