Looks good in the photo I have similar scandi design coming from BMC - if it ever gets here ..been stuck on a pallet since Dec due to Brexit TBH the pipes are a PITA but they still have their place if you dont want to go the tilt hitch or tiltrotator route on that particular machine, I often tidy our way out of a job with the 3t and they save a lot of screwing around.
Dont know if you have problems cracking the pressure off on that machine ... it was a bastard on the 8t so bought some of these.
Are you on a roller or pedal with it ?

I`m on a pedal unfortunately, there`s no flow control on this duckling, but there is adjusters on the pedal plungers, so may have a play adjusting them so they don`t open as much and slow it down.Looks good in the photo

We do some work for the LA. a lot on rural lanes, with a fair crown to them. with the 3cx easy to adjust to the camber, hopefully this should address this, with the duck.
It`s not normally to bad taking the pipes on/off, but we`ll give it a try, I may get a set of coupling pliers if we find we`re struggling.

can always put a restrictor in one of the lines ... replace an adaptor with a throttled item or get a blanked one and drill it out a mil at a time 'til you find a sweet spot .... a lot of rotators have a throttled adaptor in the one port -- often just a 1 or 1.5mm hole, which slows oil delivery massively ... and as it's not a continuous flow, shouldn't give you too many issues with heat build up Search | Flowfit (flowfitonline.com)
or put an adjustable flow restrictor in the circuit -- either an inline jobbie or a lever op. Hydraulic Flow Control and Flow Divider Valves | Flowfit (flowfitonline.com)
