A pressurized hydraulic fluid system includes a charge pump (16), a hydraulic motor (24) drivingly coupled to the charge pump, and a main hydraulic unit (12) adapted to function as a pump to drive the hydraulic motor. The charge pump (16) is in fluid communication with the main hydraulic unit (12) for maintaining a sufficient inlet pressure in the main hydraulic unit (12) when it functions as the pump. The system further includes a hydraulic fluid reservoir (20) in fluid communication with an inlet of the charge pump, a hydraulic accumulator (22) in fluid communication with the main hydraulic unit, and a return flow passage (11) fluidly connecting the main hydraulic unit with the hydraulic fluid reservoir (20) for returning an excess flow of the hydraulic fluid generated by the charge pump (16) to the hydraulic fluid reservoir (20).
