I would suggest checking the hydraulic oil, make sure it's clean and
your tank is full. If it at all looks milky then I would change
it. Change the filter, make sure that if you left any of the cylender
shaft exposed over the summer that it didn't rust, if it did make sure you
clean it up well so it does not rip you seals.
Your pump runs off the motor, the faster the motor is going, the more
fluid it pumps, take it out of gear and rev it up to 2k and you will find
things will move much faster
