With a flow divider valve you reduce the hydraulic flow to the loader all of the time. Example: You have a 10 gpm system. Your steering unit uses 3 gpm when working. So with a flow divider you would have 3 gpm going to the steering at all times even when you where not steering. So the loader would only have the 7 gpm that was left. You would need a relief valve in the steering circuit to dump the flow when the steering unit was not using oil.
With a priority valve the steering unit would be able to draw the flow it needed when it needed it but the rest of the time the full oil flow would go to the loader. So if you use my example numbers, you would have the 10 gpm all of the time unless you where steering. Also you would not need a relief valve in the steering circuit as the excess flow would go to the loader/current system when the steering was not being used.
