Random pulsation in joystick controls…

Hey guys, I have a random pulsation in the joysticks of my 2001 420d, It seems to happen when the oil is warm and running at 1300 rpm, if I bump up the rpm it usually goes away. Is this a sign of things to come or am I just running the throttle too low? What rpm do you run your backhoe? Thanks! -Rick

    Pretty sure it's a 10 weight, I purchased it from the cat dealer
