I could be way off base here, but in my conversations with the owner of the Samurai Sickle Bar, it was my understanding that a flow control is NOT necessary in most instances of small SCUTs.
I was told to mount it and try it, and if there seemed to be issues, THEN go the route of flow control. It is also my understanding that I don't have any flow control device added onto the circuits of my tractor's hydraulics; and I control the cutter's oscillation speed merely by RPMs of my engine via its throttle.
I'm NO hydraulics expert by any means, so I caution those reading this post to duly note my warning of this newbie level of knowledge. Having said the above, I have not had any issue with flow control, squealing valves, going into relief, etc. This must be worth something, since I have had hours of use from my Samurai cutter with virtually no problems except for finding a suitable height for mounting it on my QA plate/FEL. As stated in my earlier post in this thread, I plan to correct that when I return home in end of April.
Hope this helps.
