LS MT225 440hours - slight hesitation with loader

MT 225S, 440 hours (hydraulic oil and both filters were changed at 420 hrs.)

Question for everyone:
When I raise the bucket (engine at 2100 rpm), about 1/4 of the way up there’s a slight hesitation (almost like an air bubble passed through). I’ve also noticed it happens when I tilt the bucket.

I don’t believe it’s related to internal leakage in a cylinder, because the issue occurs both when raising the bucket and when tilting it. So I suspect it’s coming from the valves.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this better?

Have you checked your hyd fluid level lately? My JD acts like this when the fluid level is low (or it's cold).
