Hydraulic Top Link Questions

[MikeR 2018]

I can adjust the speed of my remote. Unfortunately it works both ways, in that it is then ALWAYS too slow. So, fortunately, I can feather the control (When I remember) so the implement doesn't shoot off the ground.

This would be a hassle with an electric circuit.

The electric circut would be only for the top link - not the entire 3ph. I could still lift the 3ph the usual way.

I guess if set up with the appropriate restrictor, that could work well. My grapple ALWAYS works at a nice steady speed. I think, I just used a disk with a hole drill in it for the restrictor.

Not so, my top link. It takes care and attention.

My grapple seems to be easy to control - little bit at a time, but the bb may require finer adjustments.

Has anyone out there used an electronic hydro control and a restrictor valve on their hydraulics - especially their bb? Is/would this be a fine enough adjustment for the bb or would it be difficult to get just the right setting?
