New 3120 - MMM question

JonBoyHunter · May 8, 2009

Hi all, my new 3120 is due to be delivered in about 3 hours, and I had a quick question. Yesterday, I went to the dealer to get "trained" on how to remove the autoconnect deck and put it back on. Pretty slick to say the least. One thing I noticed is the speed of the deck raising/lowering with the 3rd scv option. I googled it, and found reference to people adding an orifice to slow the flow. Does anyone have more info on this - something I can buy, something I can make (I have small machine shop capabilites and knowledge), where does it go, anything else to do with it? Thanks.

Welcome to TBN

The "restrictor" would go in either of the hoses that feed down to the lift cylinder. You can buy adjustable ones to fine tune the speed or make a small washer like restrictor that will limit flow...it would go behind a fitting or QD. A .062 hole is good to start with.

Also a search of the term "restrictor" will turn of some more info here...there is a current thread in the hydraulics section now.
