Slow lifting Gator 825i hydraulic powertach plow

I have a 2014 Gator 825i with a somewhat slow lifting (up) hydraulic snowplow blade (now discontinued JD Powertach brand). Left and right very quick, and down too. I realize the weight load is a factor on the draw current. However, in the troubleshooting guide (see below) they reference an inline .060 orifice in the hydraulic lift line.

Is this typical of plow hydraulics? It sounds like this is a fluid flow restrictor, why would anybody want this? I’m hesitant to remove it (if I indeed fine one inline as noted) without some first hand knowledge of why this orifice is used in the first place (Perhaps relevant to any brand of hydraulic plow).

Thanks!
