The front loader duty cycle, described in the [8], was simulated using the traditional and alternative architecture, testing the different control strategies introduced in the last one. The load and flow request transients measured on the instrumented tractor are shown in Figure 4. The utilization of this duty cycle enabled comparison of the performance of the different systems making reference to a real operating condition and evidencing the advantages of adopting independent metering and electronic control of the proportional valves and possibly of the pump.
