The pump you have is especially good for log splitters. It has two
pumps in one case. When the pressure needed is low, both pumps are
used and you get high volume. When the pressure needed is high, only
the smaller pump is used. This reduces the load on the engine.

Unfortunately it sounds as if you need a low flow all the time for
your second application. Without knowing what you are doing , it is a
bit difficult to make the best recommendation. But you might look at
some surplus catalogs and pick out a smaller constant flow pump and
maybe use an electric motor. The electric motor will run slower than
the gas engine so will slow down the speed of the cylinder. THe
smaller pump will also make things move slower.
