I'm still dont understand it the PB has to have a constant flow of oil. Unlike the fel valve. Is there or was there something fron jd parts. Or anyone with pictures can help. Or something be tap in around the fel valve. Or something electric over hydraulic.
PB means power beyond, which is also rated for high pressure.
You could say that PB starts at the pump, and is a term used in open center hyd systems.
In an open center hyd system, there is usually a gear pump that runs when the engine is turning.
The pump will pump hyd fluid through all valves until it gets to the tank.
Each valve has an IN port, and OUT port, and most have a PB port. If there is only one valve in the flow path, all the flow will exit the OUT port. The PB port will then have a plug in it.
If there are several valves, the flow from a PB port with adapter is used to send fluid downstream.
An adapter is used in the PB port to separate the pump flow from the cyl flow, and pass the fluid downstream. It is also called carry over fluid, or PBY.
As the fluid leaves each valves PB adapter and feed the next valve, it is considered power beyond flow and exits the valve for downstream use.
The PB thing can occur with many valves. Each valve should have a PB port and adapter.
Something like a log splitter or a BH needs this PB flow to operate.
All valves in an open center hyd system is in a series flow path.
In most cases, the PB flow is interrupted as it goes to the 3pt circuit, and the flow is re-routed into the log splitter valve or the BH valve. The OUT flow from those valves usually goes to tank.
