I have a 2003 Kubota bx22 backhoe loader and I had a front hydraulic line spit. I believe it was for the up function on the fel. I replaced it and now all of a sudden I have very tacky functions for the fel and I cannot use the back hoe or mower deck. I ran through some stuff I found on here but can’t seem to find it. Any pointers would be much appreciated
I also topped the fluid off.

if the hose was for the lift cylinders it has zero to do with the other functions. What did you disconnect when servicing the hose?

That hose is not the lift function. It is part of the power beyond loop and my guess is they are not all connected.

i will take another look. evrything has worked great the day prior adn all i did was change the one hose and now i have problems. do you think air could be the culprit? if i hold the down function on the backhoe it slowly bleeds down but will not go back up same with the outriggers. thank you for your time

It is not air. Your power beyond loop is not complete and #1 suspect is the hose and coupler you replaced,
