Yes, I have that saw. 3.3 GPM is about right for correct oscillation speed of the sickle. I run the tractor at about 1000 RPM to get that low flow. In order for the sickle to be able to cut anything more than a twig the motor driving it is going to have to supply some torque. 500PSI is probably the pressure across the motor while it is just oscillating the sickle but not cutting. The company claim is that the cutter is good for stuf up to 1". As the motor supplies the torque necessary to push the sickle thru, the pressure across the motor rises -- up to as high as the relief pressure of your system. There, if it hasnt cut, the motor stalls. If you have talked to someone at the company that told you the pressure required by the product is 500psi while cutting they just dont understand the product. Ask for a tech person.Are you referring to the info on the Sabre Samurai Saw. The manufacturer says the saw operates at 3.3 GPM at max 500 PSI.
