3 Point lifty waco

The raise/lower control for the 3 point lift on my Ford 1720 has become extremely sensitive. You only need to move the lever about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom & the arms are completely raised. If you move the control lever past that point the pump strains. It has full movement in both directions. the controls are very sensitive within that short control range & hard to use. This is something new - was not always that way. We recently added a backhoe & had the fluid changed. This did NOT start immediately after the backhoe was added, so I'm not sure if it is related. What can cause that control valve to bbecome more sensitive, please? Les sensateive & I would assume the valve had worn out. The tractor has about 500 hours on it. Thank you for your help.

Welcome to the forum Scott! Could be that the control is out of adjustment. I know my Deere has a procedure for getting it back in range. Might check into that.
