The video works through live trials, one restrictor vs. two, split vs. stacked, comparing results visually rather than with instruments. Useful for 1025R owners dealing with fast or rough hydraulic movement on either of those attachments.

Add a JIC 06 (3/8) flow restrictor into the hydraulic line on each side of the cylinder circuit. One restrictor in each line noticeably slowed and smoothed movement compared to no restriction.
Ken's JIC 04, or quarter inch, female to male restrictor fits directly into the hoses on the Artillian Grapple, either the Iron Fist or earlier traditional style.
The video shows two restrictors, one on each line, seemed smoother than just one, though the testers could not definitively confirm it ran slower, only smoother by visual comparison.
The restrictors are from bolt-onhooks.com, with a discount code TTWT mentioned, and Ken offers them in different thread sizes including JIC 06 and JIC 04.
