Hi folks! I was wondering if the hydraulic lines have to be bled after installing a third function kit(Summit)? With removing the one line then adding the 4 empty lines, will the lines just fill with fluid once you start tractor? Or is there a way to bleed air out? I haven't seen any of the videos mentioning having to bleed air out...

You don't have to bleed them, however, they will self-bleed once you put an implement on them. Presently they are deadheaded with nowhere for the fluid to go and there is no question that there is air in the lines. Once you hook up an implement, the air in the lines will travel through the cylinders back to the tank where the air will be expelled. After a few minutes of operation, check your hydraulic fluid level and add as necessary. I always check my levels when the fluids are hot due to expansion.
Nope...the system if self-purging so all you need to do is cycle all the controls several times and then check the fluid.
