You should not need to bleed air out of the system after an oil and filter change. If you have no hydraulics then you have something more seriously wrong. Was it a routine service you did? Or were you changing because you were having problems?

Its not air in the system. Sounds like your pump isnt pumping. Let it run for a few minutes and cycle the hydraulic controls. If its still not working check the filter.

Different model, but my shop manual says to let the tractor run for 10~15 minutes at a high idle after a fluid change before trying to use it. YMMV

Read my earlier post. My guess is your pump is not priming for some reason. I would look hard at the new filter. Believe it or not but people have installed them with some of the pkastic stoll stuck to the end... If the pump is working the filter will be full of oil.
