[QUOTE="b.boyd, post: 368043, member: 6708"] When you say "electric pump" it sounds like you are talking about a 12V power pak hydro pump which is slow and heavy. Not the same thing that I am talking about. Probably same goes for JohnG. What is being labeled as electric by myself and likely John G, is an electric solenoid valve which is a fancier version of a spool valve. It is an electric divider valve. It fits in your hand, weighs about 2lbs and diverts the fluid to the rear steering ports when activated. What is nice about it, is that you can mount it anywhere so that the hydraulic lines are not next to you like a traditional spool valve. So that is a nice safety feature. As for the electric component, it is simply a hot wire connected to the joystick and runs to the solenoids from the joystick to activate the solenoids to open or close. Runs on a 3 amp in line fuse to give you an idea on the current draw. The divider turns the back tires as fast as the front as It uses the pressure and flow of the steering pump on the engine block, which is hopefully a p pump, can move the hydraulic fluid just like the hydro steering on the front of a vehicle with only front steering . Hence, a two pump system is limited by the same factors, the flow and pressure of the engine mounted pump. As mentioned earlier, by both myself and John G, a two pump system is really not necessarily "needed" except for probably a select few who race.. [/QUOTE]
