Apparatus and method for providing reduced hydraulic flow to a plurality of actuatable devices in a pressure compensated hydraulic system

An apparatus and method for controlling hydraulic output to a plurality of actuatable devices are disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of main valves coupled, respectively, to the actuatable devices and to respective secondary valves, and also an adjustment valve that is coupled between a pressure source and one or more of the secondary valves. The adjustment valve receives a first indication of a pressure at the one or more secondary valves, and a second indication related to a highest load pressure. The adjustment valve allows pressure to be provided from the pressure source to the one or more secondary valves when the second indication exceeds the first indication, such that an equal amount of fluid flow occurs with respect to each of those secondary valves that is reduced in comparison with the fluid flow to any other secondary valves that are not connected to the adjustment valve.
