I haven't really thought about the hydraulic systems on my tractor as much as I should have but I'm faced with a hydraulic modification for a "new to me" tractor(Landini Mistral 50) I'm getting mid next week. My need is to add flow control to one of the 3 SCVs on this tractor to operate vineyard equipment with flows of 2-7 gal/min. A suggestion was made to me by a vineyard equipment rep. to add inline a valve like this Prince ...... Prince Adjustable Flow Control Valve — 1/2in. Port Size, Model# PFC51-1/2 | Adjustable Flow Valves| Northern Tool + Equipment . My questions are : (1) does it matter where I locate it other than close to point of use, (2) do I use compression fittings with ferrules to secure inline, (3)what do I have to do to relieve hydraulic pressure before cutting into hydraulic line, & (4) is there a valve manufacturer I should be selecting from? Any answers and suggestions are much appreciated....Thank you, Gary
