Bought a new MX6000 and a Delmornio Super Centurian 158 Flail Ditch mower.

The lift works fine, but the rear controllers that the dealer installed have too much power in them to make the things usable. The part is next to me, and I can promise if I pulled the offset lever more than an inch, I could flip-move a Ford F250 20 yards. there must be a way to retard or adjust the flow to the rear controllers? the hydraulics are pretty short.

ideas?

Depending on the cylinder diameter and actual fittings that would work best for you, you might want to check with Kens bolt on Hooks. (y)(y)
.030 for a 2" dia cylinder
.045 for a 2 1/2" cylinder
.060 for a 3" dia cylinder

I have an MX6000 and that same flail and have zero issues running it off the Kubota rear remotes. Aren't you able to modulate the control levers? When you drive your car or truck you have to modulate the accelerator right?

I have many, many hours running the Del Morino behind the MX6000 and don't run any restrictors.

Hammers. I just used it on a job and managed to damage the rod that holds the guards but have come up with a solution to prevent or reduce the chance of future damage. I've damaged the rod twice during use, and the shipping company damaged it before I ever received it.
