Snow blade

[melvinhatcher]

My snow blade angles too fast, I have to really lower the rpms to slow the blade down while angling from one side to the other. Is there a way to lower the pressure to slow this thing down without lowering the rpms?

Take a line off to the ram and insert a washer with a pin hole center, really that's all it takes, it slows the flow down.

Thank Wolfman, I will give it a shot, OBTW, do you have an Idea, what size pin hole to start with?

I've used as small as a 32nd, but a 1/16 should work well!
You can always make it bigger if it's too slow.
And you do only need to do one line as it will restrict flow in both directions.

Start with 1/16" and drill up from there. I have a hydraulic landscape rake with flow restrictors and theres just pinholes. Thinking this is what you need.

Hello guys, my problem is solved. I ordered The Thumb to install on loader bucket and it came with two flow restrictors. I installed the two restrictors to the hose ends of the third function valve, therefore any attachment I install to the tractor will receive a reduced hydraulic flow rate. So far, the snow blade is perfect at any engine rpm
