Takeuchi tl140 arms raise slowly

Today while using my tak tl140 with a new post hole digger I noticed that the arms were slow to raise the auger out of the hole. But if I would move the joystick To the left and back and find what I would call a sweet spot it would raise fine. No I did check the hydraulic fluid and it was about 3/4 above the red line. I looked in the reservoir and the fluid looked normal. None of the hydraulic lines seemed excessively hot. After I was done with the auger I switched back to the bucket and moved rock and noticed no issues. Any ideas on where or what to look for? Any help is appreciated.

It was not the auger. I have yet to figure out the issue. Sometimes it’s does it and then won’t and it’ll work fine.

Maybe just miss alignment in the already dug hole creating more resistance to pull out. That’s why moving it little bit to the side helped.
