Hey everyone. I have changed all my hoses out and re-sealed my drive motors. Obviously all my fluid has left the motors and lines when i removed them, so now when i go to turn back on do i have to prime the system in any way or does it just require idling for a bit and low rpm controls to burp the system clean?

Bobcats are self bleeders.
That being said, since you say you changed out all the hoses, you will want to take it slow at first and make sure to constantly check the reservoir level.
I would start it up for just like 10-20 seconds and shut it down and check the level. Keep doing that extending the idle time little by little until you feel comfortable that he fluid isn’t dropping anymore.
Then you will need to star using the hydraulics in the same way. Dive forward and back a little and check until level stays steady. Then the lift up and down a little at a time and then the curl up and down etc.
If you see foam in the reservoir let it dissipate before refilling it.
