Anyone have an idea how I could adjust the flow to the aux/thumb. I have just installed a wrist bucket and it moves way to fast and is hard to control. It was not so bad when its plumbed into the thumb, but slams the bucket from sided to side.
Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

'adjustable flow control valve', usually $100+-, + you'll need some fittings and decide WHERE to put it.
Should be a set once,good forever adjustment.

What's your flow rate on that machine (gallons per minute)? Look for needle valve, you can get then with control in one direction or in both directions but make sure the valve can handle your flow... Also, what size threads are your hoses?

{edit: I looked it up} Say the Auxiliary hydraulic flow = 7.4 GPM so check this one out:
if 3/8" NPT; 3/8 NPT 8 GPM Needle Valve Wolverine

You'll most like will need a male to male 3/8" coupler...
