Takeuchi TL130 hydraulic system bleed after hose replacement?

wmeyer116 ยท 2024-12-03 12:57

I have a 2006 TL130 that I blew a drive motor hydraulic line on. I replaced the hose, filled the reservoir, but do I need to bleed the system? Or can I let it idle to bleed? Thanks!

    It will bleed itself once you start moving it.

    Start at low idle. Cycle the boom/ bucket to their extremes twice. Then, travel forward 10 yards or so, then backwards for 10 yds. Recheck level. Then put it to work. No bleeding or priming of the system is required.
