Yes and no. The hydraulic control lever was not designed as a variable flow control. In large part it is either on or off. However, if you move the lever just sligtly, a little flow will occur, move it a little more and more flow. However, it is difficult to maintain the same little movement/ flow without a human hand on the lever. It would be best to open the hydraulic control lever fully and then use an external flow control valve. Most CUTs do not have a detent on the hydraulic lever to maintain constant flow. (Common on ag tractors. Variable flow is also common on ag tractors.) Thus you would have to tie back the lever to the open position. If used a lot, the hydraulic fluid could be come too hot.
Flow control could be like the following:
