@McMXi I got the Centurian Super 158 on order. Some have commented on needing flow restrictors to keep it from being so jerky. Do you find the need for these?

My apologies for the late reply. I've been away for a while working on other projects and haven't been checking in.

I ran the Del Morino for three summers over many, many hours without restrictors and to be honest didn't really need them. I would suggest trying it out as is and adding in the future if you feel that you want more fine control.

Once I installed the Scorpion control grip and Summit Hydraulics multiplier/diverter in/on the MX, I wanted to be able to move the lever in the cab with less finesse required. I still want to drill out the orifices in the restrictors that I bought from @Kennyd4110 to reduce noise and provide faster response.

I have yet to pull the trigger on one of these... though I want one. I am concerned about how large of a ditch bank mower my little L2501 can handle. So many mixed reviews.

PTO HP and 3-point hitch lift limits are points to consider but you also have to factor in the mower extension when it is off the ground.
I was thinking of going with the Del Morino Flipper Super 186 and I was within these specs but was advised by people smarter than me that it was too heavy for my tractor with the mower extended out, especially when being in the vertical position.
And I ended up saving me quite a bit by going with the advice of others - both in the cost of the mower and a potential broken tractor.
Don't have mine yet, but it arrived at the dealership today and I will be getting it next week!
