I think a flow meter and pressure test is in order to reaffirm the tractors hyd's is putting out the specified flow and pressure.
If the tractor hyd is working correctly, then there is something giving you the perception that the BH is slower than new .
If the BH valve is rated for the tractor flow, maybe the relief valve is not set right. It should be the same as tractor or FEL relief valve.
BH hyd components may just be worn, causing a loss of speed and power.
Is engine rpm up to max or recommend speed for BH operation.
If you install a hyd gage where you can see it while operating the BH, it will help you trouble shoot and analyze the hyd system.
With only 220 hours on the meter on the commercial quality B26 I dont think anything would be worn out at this stage. I will check the controls to make sure the nuts on the toggles havent loosened off. That happened on my Yanmar FEL joystick once and I had to tighten all of them up to make the valve work. I will do that tomorrow weather permitting and while in the control panel look for a separate RV for the backhoe.
