JD 2020 troubles

After an hour(maybe 2) or so of use, all hydraulic functions slow, start to chatter and barely function....and now the clutch just started slipping, but only when it acts up. Both filters and fluid have been replaced twice and the fluid appears clean and the level constant(before and during extended use).
The pressure at remote hookup remains constant at 1650psi, even while it acts rough. Even though the service manual specs 2250psi. Clutch and pto eventually grab, with just less than full throttle. I have been hesitant to adjust the stroke control valve until I feel there isn't another problem(i.e. clog or faulty pump.)
All suggestions are welcome.

Here is the part that really confuses me......If I shut it down and let it sit for a while it is fine for another hour or so...depending on load conditions. Which makes me think clog, but where and how would it clear itself by sitting. I also worry about using a cheaper quality fluid...just because the first filter and fluid change is about when this all started.
