Inline flow control valve

Yes the pressure intensification could be a concern especially if you have a condition like forks were the load induced pressure is high. This is rarely a major concern unless you restrict the dump speed to the point you are frequently applying system relief pressure to dump.

Only other issue is your dump speed will vary with load induced pressure which also reduces the effectiveness of the flow control

For majority of people this is a simple cost effective solution.

To be the most effective - size the valve in free flow to barely handle the rated pump flow. This makes it easier to fine adjust the restriction amount.

Yes the valve is right there with pump flow and I have checked the pressure on the return running at idle which we know will not cause any intensification and again at 2600 rpm where the gauge dropped to zero the minute I started the dump cycle. This is all with an empty bucket as my biggest issue was when back dragging the bucket would roll. With the valve in place I no longer had that issue but as stated I wanted to ask to see if I missed anything on why it would not work correctly or if it would cause any issues.

To me the addition of the valve solved any concerns I was having and yes you are correct it was under $60.00 for both valve and nipple so it was very cost effective.
