Ford 4610 Tractor- Hydraulic Problem

Hello everyone, I have a Ford 4610 Tractor with front loader. I have put new hydraulic fluid (correct fluid) in the tractor. The bucket raises up all the way sometimes. But sometimes it only goes up part of the way. My driver opens the knobs on both arms and tries to bleed the air out, kind of messy job. The bucket will then work fine for a while but then it will incounter the same problem. The driver bleeds the Hydraulic lines again. This is the on going solustion so far but, at the cost of loosing alot of hydraulic fluid. My question is, is air in the hydraulic system really the problem? Could it be something else? What is the proper and best way to get the air out?
 
You might have a loose suction line on the pump and it"s sucking air or a clogged filter. These gear pumps usually are self bleeders and do not require bleeding. have you replaced the hydraulic filter (under the left foot plate). They"re supposed to be changed every 1000 hrs.
 
No I have not replaced the hydralic filter. I will do ASAP. I will also check suction line. Hopefully this will fix the problem. Thanks for all your help.
