KX36 hydraulics stopped

[Tusk]

We have a Kubota KX36 hydraulic controls have suddenly stopped working? I can travel backwards and forwards and can hear pressure when trying the auxiliary foot control but no arm or swivel control? Safety control arms visually operating micro switches ok, have noticed the light for the left and right control of the arm will not illuminate not sure if related, all fuses ok? Any ideas anyone please? Thanks

dead man switch failed possibly ... try shorting the switch's connections

Or the solenoid engaged by said switch perhaps. I had that fail on a TB016 once, aside from being a nightmare to get to it gave identical symptoms as described above.

it certainly would, but the switch is an easier check first ...
dead man is usually to earth, so difficult to check for voltage - as there ain't none - usually ..
a meter could check said switch for continuity though and if functional the fault'll be further back.

My kx 36 will track with the arm up. It's done this form new 26hrs

it will .. so'll my 8015 ... it's not servo controlled and thus not dead man controlled either ..... and the blade'll raise / lower

They use P3 for tracks and blade, not piloted as such!
