I made a loader for my b7100 and it works awesome except for the fact that it drops like a rock, which makes it extremely hard to handle. I spoke with the hydraulic shops around me in Michigan and they only had the adjustable inline restrictors for around $90. i talked to VIC and he explained what i needed to do to cure the problem. with what he said i took 1 of my jic #6 fittings down to the hardware store and searched for about 45 minutes for something that would work. what i came up with was a (blind rivet) that is what the box said anyways they come in steel and aluminum i went for the steel. it would reduce the size of the hole in the out line on my control valve. it is harder for me to explain than it was to understand VIC. but here are some pictures. it works great it slowed it to about half what it was. after i tightened the line down it molded it's self perfect around the jic flange the center picture. final cost $.24 and 10 minutes work. thanks for the help VIC.:)
