I didn’t know that, thank you for the information!

You can also just hit the parking brake button, switch and take the parking brake off, much faster in my opinion.

Thank you Dallan! Please subscribe so you don’t miss our future videos!

What model are you in? What year?

You are exactly right, the controls on the bottom of the left joystick control the “transmission gears” of snail, turtle, and rabbit. The dial up on the right hand side or your hand throttle controls engine rpm’s. Great question, thank you for watching!

I'm trying to remember, is it tied into the front lights? I don't have one of this model here currently to try.

You would just push the toggle the other direction and that will run the attachment the opposite direction

@@weldcojcb what about for continuous flow? On mine I push one button to engage continuous flow but nothing to reverse that flow.

Sorry, I never saw your comment come through. Unfortunately I haven’t tried it on a machine of that age yet. On the newer ones there are one or two ways you can do it. They have a “grenade pin” on the valve block where you hook into the hydraulics on the machine. We shot a video showing this, so look on that video if you’re not sure what I’m referencing. The other way you can do it on the new ones is you push in on the hose into the fitting on the machine. I’ll try and shoot a video on this later this week

After you dump, you have to take the bucket back to level and then it I’ll level as it goes up. The teleskids will also level on the way down

As a general rule, if one of the control buttons on your JCB isn’t illuminated then that means the machine was not equipped with that option. I’m not aware of being able to program it after the fact, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be done. Where are you and your machine located?

@@weldcojcb St. Louis, MO

As far as I’ve found, can’t be added after the fact

@@weldcojcb bummer, thanks for responding though!

What year is your machine?

@@weldcojcb I just discovered the problem, the boom is required to be all the way in for it to work. Thank you though

It should be the flipper switch on the left joystick but just depends on how the electrical connector is wired

I didn’t realize that, thank you for the input. I have never tried to run hydraulics while in park. I also didn’t realize you can enable the arm to move while in park. Thank you for watching!

Does your machine apply the brakes when you release the left controller. My previous JD 329 would not roll downhill if you released the control, however to keep the JCB steady on a hill without the hassle of applying the park brake, you need to keep a little input in to the controller arm. Nothing more than an irritation, but I’m not convinced it’s a great design that lets it start rolling downhill when you pause for thought!

How do you enable hydraulics with park brake set. My hydraulics are completely inactive if park brake is on.

@@mikelloyd2013 There are 3 separate controls: tracks, boom, auxiliary Start the machine, all 3 circuits are off. You can enable each separately. Do you see the 3 controls? If you want I can point you to a video showing the controls

@@lumberjackdreamer6267 I guess I don’t understand what I should be looking for. I have always just turned off the parking brake and the hydraulics become active, but I don’t see how to make anything active while park brake is enabled. I would appreciate a link to the controls video. Thank you for your replies.
