It could be air, but I'd be surprised if it is, unless you have had the system open recently, meaning a hose changed or something similar. However, if it is air, try driving the front wheels of the tractor up onto something so the loader cylinders will retract all the way. If there is air trapped in there, running it fully up and fully down a few times should get more of it worked out. If that doesn't help, there is sometimes a "pilot operated check valve" built into a loader, depends on the loader, where when lowering the loader, the pilot check needs to have pressure applied to open the check and let the loader cylinders retract. the fact you are hearing pressure for a moment before it lowers is an indication it may have one of those checks, and it may be taking too much pressure to open it and therefore building too much down pressure before the check opens. If there is a block in the line going to the cylinders and both the up and down lines go through that block, this could be the problem.
There is many times a check block in the bucket cylinder lines and is usually mounted somewhere behind the bucket on the loader frame cross-member.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
