Default Jerky hydrostat

Would a somewhat jerky hydrostat (IE no matter how slowly/gently the lever is pushed or pulled it doesn't gently slow to a stop it jerks.) be contributed to a too-loose friction nut? Also, I was towing a rather large tree branch- no problem- but I had to hold the hydro lever in the forward position or it would just return to N.

I know the manual says 10 lbs of force but I don't have a scale to gauge it.
