A vehicle includes a rear steering system and a front differential hydraulic drive system. A first front drive control valve is operable to output a defined fluid flow in response to a steering command input. A second front drive control valve is operable to selectively divert a portion of the defined fluid flow output from the first front drive control valve. When the vehicle is operating in a pre-defined condition, a steering controller may control the second front drive control valve to divert a portion of the defined fluid flow from the first front drive control valve to define a reduced fluid flow, which is communicated to the front differential hydraulic drive system, to reduce a steering ratio of the front differential hydraulic drive system relative to the rear steering system, to desensitize steering provided by the front differential hydraulic drive system.
