A single rod three chamber fluid cylinder is driven in an initial rapid advance forward stroke by a main pump, pumping fluid through a proportional directional control valve to act against a first equal area at the head end of the piston. Fluid expelled from a second equal area at the rod side of the piston is returned to the reservoir through a proportional directional control valve which is in a first position while a two position valve is in its first position allowing an accumulator to fill a third chamber exposed to a third area of the head side. When shifting to the feed stroke, the two position valve switches to its second position disconnecting the accumulator to the third area and connecting the main pump to the third area while also connected to the first equal area. Upon the return stroke of the piston, the fluid from the first equal area is returned to the sump and the fluid from the third area is routed to the accumulator.
