I need to know how to go about adding, or actually restricting, the hydraulic flow going to my Curtis hydraulic angle snow blade. The snow blade, mounted to my Kubota RTV, uses the same hydraulic circuit for the dump bed but I only want to slow the speed of the angle adjustments on the snow blade. The hydraulic control does not lend itself well to feathering.
Pictured is the snow blade attached to the front of the RTV. The hydraulic circuit connects to the front of the RTV and then into a pilot-check valve (all Kubota factory). I'm assuming the proper place to position flow control is in the circuit between the RTV and the check valve.
Do I need to add a flow restrictor on one hydraulic line or both?
Were is the proper location for the flow restrictor(s)?
Any recomendation on type of flow control, say washer versus adjustable valve?
Thanks
