I have a shaver hd8 3 point post driver that I have been using and I need two slow down two of the three functions on the controls. I don't want to slow the pound just the tilt front and back and the tilt side to side so I cant just adjust my hydraulics on my tractor because that slows everything. So what are my options?
Slow down your engine speed?
Flow restrictor in the lines to the tilt cylinders https://www.mcmaster.com/flow-restrictors/
I assume you operate the tractor at idle speed?
Wow never heard of those before or mcmaster either. Looked through there catalog would these work as well? https://www.mcmaster.com/browse-hyd...es/flow-adjustment-inline-hydraulic-valves-7/
Price is everything .. With the flow restrictors' A drill bit can increase the flow. Naturally, once drilled, the restrictor can't be adjusted back like a valve can. Be aware of the pressure ratings. And potential spikes from the post pounder.
Mcmaster Carr is awesome ! Surplus center will have adjustable ones https://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Valves/Flow-Control-Valves/
Do i need two valves per circuit or just one?
What size hoses going to the cylinders on those functions? Could always reduce hose size.
Something like the needle valve gives flow control both ways https://www.surpluscenter.com/Brand...-GPM-Prince-WNV-800-Needle-Valve-9-7961-8.axd A drilled orifice does also of course So you would only need one on each cylinder
got all the parts ordered for this project ill let you know how it goes
