Abstract:
A hydraulic cylinder causes a work implement to be lowered due to the exhaust of hydraulic fluid from a first chamber and the supply of hydraulic fluid to a second chamber. A hydraulic fluid flowpath has a first flowpath and a second flowpath. The first flowpath connects a first pump port and the first chamber. The second flowpath connects a second pump port and the second chamber. The hydraulic fluid flowpath configures a closed circuit between a hydraulic pump and the hydraulic cylinder. A bleed-off flowpath branches off from the first flowpath. A portion of hydraulic fluid exhausted from the first chamber when lowering the work implement flows into the bleed-off flowpath.
