<p>A system (10) for controlling a power output is disclosed. The system includes a hydraulic actuator (16) configured to output a first torque and a source of pressurized fluid configured to supply a flow of pressurized fluid to the hydraulic actuator. The system further includes a controller (104) configured to control the flow of pressurized fluid as a function of the first torque, a predetermined torque, and changes to the first torque caused by a load (50) operatively connected to the hydraulic actuator.</p>
