I am in the process of converting my deere 670 rake from ground drive to hydraulic drive. I changed the yoke on the drive shaft running from the drive wheels to the gearbox so the shaft will go onto an orbit motor salvaged from a 200 series bean head which I am mounting to the frame just above the left drive wheel. I was just going to change the speed with the turtle/rabbit control on the scv, but am thinking a flow control valve plumbed onto the rake will give greater control of the speed. My question is do I need to plumb the excess flow port on the valve into the return line from the orbit motor or can I just leave it plugged? The rake will be used behind a 4020 so closed center hydraulics. I also am curious if anyone thinks I would be able to run this setup with my 51 A if it was necessary? Thank in advance for all the help
