Default Weak hydro only in reverse

Hi everyone so i've noticed since i bought my 1512 the reverse wasn't nearly as strong as forward. Sorry for the long rear and sentences i'm no English major.

I replaced the pump and rebuilt the drive line after i first purchased it this really made no improvement. The next thing tried adjusting the lever as per the manual and this made no difference with power output.

Then a few months ago i had a leaking release valve i replaced it with a used one and this made reverse a little better.

The trunion has very minor wear could this cause reverse to seem so weak?

This was never an issue at PA plow day or mowing as i always i never had much weight on the tractor. Now that i am using my 450 blower i really struggle to back up my drive way. I would like to add more weight to the rear as the front end is still to heavy but im afraid it will make reverse totally worthless.

Thanks in advance John.
