In a vehicle hydraulic system of the open center kind, hydraulic fluid for operating vehicle services is circulated continuously, normally by an engine-driven pump. A closed center booster which requires a substantially constant pressure differential to operate it, is included in the open center system, the pressure differential being provided by a fixed restriction. The fixed restriction may be operative when the pump is operative, or only when the booster is operative. The booster is arranged so that in operation, high pressure fluid entering a boost chamber displaces an equal volume of fluid from a forward chamber into the system. The booster may also include a one-way valve allowing flow of fluid from the forward chamber to the boost chamber.
