i dont care whether youre driving the truck in fields or not the correct thing to do is to have four brakes working on this thing properly.... you can kill yourself or someone else in a pasture as quick as you can on a road with faulty brakes
that being said
you should have bled the master as if it was being installed fresh . there was no fluid in the masterso that makes me wonder if the seals on that are any good to begin with.
at this point you need to begin checking all parts of the brakes....
start by bleeding the master going down to the proportioning valve then to the rubber lines to the front and the one on the rear axel
make sure all your steel lines are good then make sure that your wheel cylinders are good
You should also make sure that no fluid is leaking from the master into the power booster if equipped
