Run tractor then use the levers to move the backhoe around and the cylinders and hoses will fill with fluid. Just extend and retract the cylinders a few times and the air will be expelled back into the sump.

Thank you for your help. I got the air out and found I had two hoses hooked in the wrong place. Thanks again.

Don’t forget to check your hydraulic oil level after you get the air worked out of the hoses. Most likely you will need to add some.
