Default Hydraulics questions (a bit long)

vaguely proposed a theory
.......and in reply I say!:

OK. You give a good impression of being able to put the truth across.

I have a backhoe. I find that some of the controls for the digger
(slew in particular) are way too fast. I wanted to place a flow
limiter in the circuit, preferably adjustable within limits, so that I
do not have to be _so_ careful with the slew controls when working,
especially in confined sirrounds.

I was told this would not work, as it would force fluid back through
the pressure release/return all the time and heat the fluid too much.

The system is quite large for the machine (industrail, not farm setup
on a little Massye 40) and has about 30-40 litres of tank capacity. I
spend a lot of time "feathering" the controls anyway, which is going
to have the same effect, no? Is there really a problem?

Thanks for you attention and any help.
