In one aspect of the invention, the hydraulic system provided with the hydraulic pressure source and at least one meter-in spool valve. Each Spool valve has an inlet and an outlet. A hydraulic actuator is fluidly coupled with the spool valve outlet. A load hold check valve fluidly interconnects the pressure source with at least one spool valve inlet. The load hold check valve has a pressure control chamber. A three way valve has a first port in fluid communication with the pressure control chamber, a second port in fluid communication with at least one spool valve inlet, and a third port in fluid communication with the pressure source. Proved pressure and flow control to an actuator are provided, and make-up and line relief are provided without the use of an additional spool valve.
