I just serviced my 2008 5465 with Dyna4. In the operator's manual, it says to bleed the air after changing hydraulic fluid and filters. It's only instruction on that is see dealer. Anyone here know and can direct me?

You have open center hydraulics I'm sure and not a whole lot different than many other machines. In my cases (a JD 15 years ago and a MF2660 about 4 years ago) the hydraulic system primed itself by just using it a short time. It might be that the filter was empty when installed and some of the cylinders may have drained back too. If so, check the level again after a little usage.

Rock the controls on the remotes and the loader, etc. One possibility is to pull the filler plug and see if you can run the machine a few minutes at idle without throwing fluid out the filler hole. That should vent any air pockets if they are under slight positive pressure. I have NO experience with a Dyna4 transmission. Always good to talk it over with a mechanic at the dealer.

I ran it a short period of time. I was surprised to find the brakes didn't work. I could tell there was air in the system the way the 3 point hitch operated. But the transmission and rear scv's operated fine
