My Hydraulic fluid got low (not a lot..still on the dipstick) and the bucket tilt cylinders got wonky, so I filled it and it's 95% good...the bucket tilt seem a tad off though, like they need bled.

I've put the bucket up, and down, and worked it all around (not quite the hokey pokey though).

When I set the bucket down it seems to be less than solid. If I move the lever it's got all it's power, but it's like it's got air in the system and moves when it used to sit/hit solid without me having to move the lever.

Kioti CK3510HST with 200 hours on it.

Cycling boom/bucket several times should eliminate any air in FEL hyd circuits UNLESS air is being sucked into tractor hyd circuit which would need to be corrected.

that was my understanding. i have one line that weeps some..i'll see if I can tighten it or what's leaking. it's under warranty but i hate to burn up my free service call on a weepy hose.

If fluid can get out, air can get in.
