The 3/4 ports sold be ok for what you are doing. Things to consider is actual efficientcies, generally around 85%. 35gpm at 85%=29gpm. As you can see by the chart, your right in the middle for hoses versus pipe.  I wouldnt buy a dump valve and dont think in your situation it will provide much, if any benefit.



FLOW CAPACITIES OF HYDRAULIC LINES

Recommended Maximum for PRESSURE LINES

(Based on Velocity of 20 Ft/Sec)

HOSE SIZE FLOW – GPM PIPE SIZE FLOW – GPM

1/4 3.5                               1/4 6.5

3/8 7                                  3/8 12

1/2 12                                1/2 19

3/4 27                                3/4 33 

1 48                                   1 56

1 1/4 75                              1 1/4 93


REASE SIZE IF:

  • Oil Viscosity exceeds 150 SSU (SAE 10)
  • Oil is cold
  • Suction lines are over 5 ft. long
  • Pressure lines are over 15 ft. long
  • There are multiple fittings or obstructions in line
