JCB 180 Robot Skid Steer - Regular motion quit. Boom works fine but machine barely moves. Used to do this on rare occasion then kick in after wobbling stick around or operating for a bit. Now it is always in limp. Feels like a valve or solenoid failing. Dump solenoid seems to be working. Filters are fine. Something is preventing it from engaging full fluid flow. I'm leaning towards electrical but do not know where to start looking. Next? There must be someone on his planet who know something about this ridiculous machine. I'm Sending Beer Money to First Person to Figure This Out!
I'd be looking at the harness to the mobility joystick, sounds like there could be a broken wire.
Thanks Steve, joystick wires and hoses are all in good shape. Joystick moves the machine.
Big thanks to Jimbo for unraveling the ridiculousness of this infernal machine. $100 straight to your beer fund buddy! Too much unnecessary junk designed to fail. JCB's lack of knowledge, support and utter indifference makes the their equipment garbage. This 400 hour machine will go straight to the dump after this job.
