Slowing snow plow movement

[lhfarm]

Amazing what you guys are able to do. Thanks for the link. I'll ponder making my own.

It works! Made the restrictor without the wire (didn't have anything that small). It still moves pretty quickly, but I don't feel out of control and I think I'll be fine.

First snow of the season headed this way. Great timing!

Total cost under $5.

Thanks again,

Glad you made it! Gr8!
The loose wire have two purposes....tuning the size of the hole and keeping the hole clean from clogging....

The wire would be an easy addition, if I had a wire that small. Don't have a hardware store in town, only box stores. Do you have a recommendation for possible sources?

Thanks,

I use brake hose sized lines and mine is just perfect for angle speed. My loader valves are graduated, also. That's what I use for the plow cylinders

The wire could be copper from a piece of electrical wire or a paper clip. Paper clips come in different sizes and wire size.

If you add an adjustable flow restrictor there are two styles. One adjusts flow in both directions and the other restricts in one direction and full flow in the other. I used the one that restricts in both directions and installed in just one hose. You don't need two.

How about the music instrument store...guitar strings
Even rigid copper wire could work....from stranded electric wire...
