Using the advice of a guy over on the Shopbuilt forum (see the link) I built a "redneck flow divider".
Basically you put a tee in both lines and connect the tees with a gate valve. That allows you to bleed off some of the pressure to the return line.
Works pretty good, adjustable on the fly. Best of all, I was able to plumb it up out of my parts pile. I'll still be gearing it down more as soon as I can put my hands on a bigger sprocket for the pump.
Thanks for all the input from everyone.
Next hurdle is trying to dump an actual load.
