Folks, I am considering using the Sabre Samurai Saw to trim trees, and along ponds and ditches:

I think this will work in the manner described below. However, I am still concerned about the max operating pressure of 500psi. Will restricting the throttle also keep the PSI within range? I think that using the PTO rather than the Aux is the way to go. Any suggestions are appreciated.

You are correct you could control the speed the cutter operates by varying the rpm of your tractor. You just need to make sure the cutter knives can be seen with the naked eye, if they are going faster and are a blur to the eye than you are outside the operating range.
The operating flow rate of the cutter is 3.3 gpm with a maximum operating pressure of 500psi.

I am interested in the Sabre product. I need to determine if I need to install a flow regulator to operate the saw on my tractor. My tractor is the Power Trac 425 Utility tractor (Versatile Tractors,Compact Tractors,Trailer Packages,Landscaping,Utility Vehicle Rentals,Mowers-Power Trac.
I have two possible hyd take-offs.
1. PTO- 8 GPM @ 2500 PSI, 1/2" hoses.
2. Aux- 4 GPM @ ????, 1/4" hoses.
I think that using the PTO to drive the sabre while keeping the throttle at less that 1/2, and manage the cutter speed by eyeballing the cutters, I can control the GPM without a flow regulator. What do you think?
Also, I'm confused -- your home page spec says: 3.3 GPM at less than 500 psi during normal operation, while the manual says the motor Hydraulic Pump requirements - minimum flow of 10
GPM @ 500 psi????
