No hydralic pressure

Tractor is Kioti DK35.

Just drained and refilled trans/hydro fluid and now have no hydraulic pressuer. Is there an air bleeder somehere?

You probably have lost the prime. After starting engine, you could add air to the hyd tank filler opening with a blow gun and a rag around the nozzle.

If your system is open center hyd system, you have a path to tank with all valves in neutral.

Were the filters changed?

Hello Egon.
Yes, the filter was changed along the way. Just got an idea from JJ about forcing prime using air pressure. Thanx for responding.

If you use air to prime your pump, just go easy on the air. The trans case is vented and runs with no pressure.

To one and all who offered advice.

It took a while to get back to the tractor problem. Familly issues. Anyway, it was indeed a pump priming problem. The air pressure fixed it virtually immediately.

Thanks to everyone and have a good whatever.
