Well I finally made a connection- when I load the bucket with gravel then dump it, the bucket is very floppy - I can move it by hand and see the cylinders move in/out several inches. When I go full dump and hold it for 3+ seconds (until the engine lugs) it is fine again.
Without a load in the bucket, it is pretty clean- no issues.
So as mentioned above, either air or vacuum is behind the cylinders, making it mushy.
Read the first post in THIS thread from an old member named Kubmech, it explains it all.
