Disclosed herein is an improved braking system. The braking system includes a valving arrangement which reduces the dead band of the system and the freedom to randomly select the pistons return position. In particular, the system includes a fluid reservoir, a piston located in a cylinder including a reservoir port, a first fluid channel connecting the reservoir to the reservoir port, a brake actuator, and a second fluid channel connecting the cylinder to the brake actuator. The piston is moveable within the cylinder to produce fluid flow within the first channel. A first valve is disposed between the reservoir and the cylinder to prevent fluid flow from the cylinder to the reservoir when the piston is moved to pressurize fluid in the second fluid channel.
