Bleeding hydraulics

[Eggsiam]

Anybody know how to get the air out of hydraulics on Iseki tu1600??

Most hydraulic systems don't require bleeding. The air makes it back to the supply tank via the return line. Are you having trouble with your hydraulics?

Agree. Thinking that they need bleeding usually means there is another problem. It's an open center hydraulic system - as in "open to the atmosphere via the sump vent - so they generally bleed themselves in a minute or two of operation. It's possible I guess, but I've never seem it. And I've done my share.

Hydraulics should self bleed within a few cycles. If they don’t the pump is probably still sucking air.

Exactly. Next thing is how and where to look for a suction leak. Those type leaks are very common, and a hydraulic system with a suction leak will work just well enough to drive you nuts.

I had a leak at my coupling and you could not tell at all,A stick had bumped the ring back just enough to open it a bit. I noticed it by a weak function.All I did was remove and reattach and it was leak free. Check every coupling even if they look coupled.
