  "textContent": "The invention provides a fluid control valve (1) for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic pump (5) to and from a plurality of hydraulic motors (7). The valve conveniently includes selector valve (3) for selectively energizing a flow divider/combiner spool (2) that controls the flow of hydraulic fluid to and from the motors (7). The flow divider/combiner spool (2) has on its periphery lubrication grooves (15) which also act as metering grooves. An advantage of the fluid control valve of the invention is that it regulates and equalises the flow and pressure of the hydraulic fluid delivered between a hydraulic pump (5) and a plurality of hydraulic motors (7), thereby enabling each hydraulic motor to rotate in a synchronized fashion when traction control is required and without the operator having to deactivate the valve, the valve will disengage once traction to all wheels has been regained.",
