Got a 1995 lt 40 and had line bust on log stops so changed out line and now log turner is slow and to weak to operate. Any suggestions on what happened and how to fix it would be appreciated! Tried bleeding log turner cylinder but didn't help or I didn't do it right. Thanks Bo
If you want to do something bad enough you'll find a way,If you don't you'll find an excuse!!!!!!!!

Bled it best I know how but that don't mean I done it right!

WM hydraulic systems don't need to be bled. Any air in the lines or rams will burp out at the breather cap on top of the pumps. 
Cycle all the functions to full extent a few times and all the air will be gone. 
NaySawyer's suggestion is perfect: once the air burps and farts it's way out of the system . . . is there enough oil left in the system to power your turner? 
Keep topping it up and cycle the functions.

Same size lines that you replaced? 
No added restrictions in the fittings added? 
A wood chip get into a line that is plugging one up now?
