773 bobcat help on setting the speed of the aux hydraulics

[mike w]

Hello All

I have a 773 bobcat (not new , but new to me) I have put a snow plow on it is there any way to slow the auz hydraulics that turn the plow side to side?

thanks for any help on this

is you auxiliary controlled with the lever drive lever moving sideways? with my 743 I removed the hydraulic fitting on the plow and welded the hole then drilled out to a smaller size, this will restrict flow and slow it down, how small a hole would depend how slow you want it but Im assuming now its 1/4 to 3/8 so start small say 1/8 and try it, if you do this on the plow side any other attachment will not be affected and work normal

I used one of these for a nursery jaws, to slow the aux hydr flow squeezing when lifting ball/burlap trees. Works epically well. Put it on the attachment right behind a coupler. I don't think it matters which one. Let us know how you ended up. Its prob half that price on Amazon.

way easier to use a coupling with small hole, the adjustable work great but add length to the coupling and cost 100 dollars and you still need couplings as they are female threads both ends
