206's stick forces

We fly 206, JetRanger III, and there is are some problems with the forces experienced on cyclic and collective. According to the checklist, you check the cyclic stick with hydraulic power off. There is no problem prior to take off. But after flying (30 minutes is enough) forces on cyclic are around 9 kg (is ok), forces on collective are from 14 to 20+ kg. That is too much. That only happens sometimes (not depending on flight time at all). Have any of you experienced that too? We tryed fixing that problem, but no succes.
