I built a logsplitter with a 16 hp Vanguard B&S, a 28gpm pump and a AutoCycle valve. I have a log lift plumbed from the Power Beyond port on the AutoCycle. I used 1/2" line to lift valve and came out to cyclinder with 1/4" lines. I still have too much speed on the lift. It will throw the wood. I want to be able to adjust speed when lifting without decreasing power. Lowering the lifter is not a problem. Can I use a Prince inline flow control valve at the IN Port on the lift valve, or the out port on the AutoCycle. Which size? Space and fittings are not an issue. Can I use a 1/4" valve. Does it need to control flow in both directions, as in a needle valve. Any advice would be appreciated.
