A soil processing machine includes a hydraulic drive system including an electrohydraulic pressurized fluid source with at least one electric motor and at least one hydraulic drive pump, a hydraulic drive circuit fed with pressurized fluid by the at least one hydraulic drive pump, at least one hydraulic drive motor fed with pressurized fluid from the hydraulic drive circuit, and a discharge valve assembly for discharging fluid from the hydraulic drive circuit to a fluid reservoir. The hydraulic drive system is designed to operate the discharge valve assembly as a function of at least one of the following parameters: a temperature of the fluid in the hydraulic drive circuit, an ambient temperature, a viscosity of the fluid in the hydraulic drive circuit, a degree of contamination of the fluid in the hydraulic drive circuit, a period of time since the last start-up of the hydraulic drive system, a period of time since the last fluid was discharged from the hydraulic drive circuit.

A system and method configured to direct the braking energy from a high-pressure port at the motor side of a hydraulic circuit to emergency steering, braking, accumulator(s) charging, and/or various work functions. The system and method are also configured to return hydraulic fluid back to the same high-pressure port when the motor is running as a pump.

A cooling fan or use with a hydraulic pump having an input shaft in a hydrostatic transmission includes a rotatable hub having a central body portion and an axially extending peripheral surface and a plurality of blades that extend radially outward from the peripheral surface. The cooling fan also includes an attachment aperture defined by the central body portion and an integral flange that axially extends from the central body portion. The integral flange defines a guard space having an area that is less than an area defined by the peripheral surface.
