JCB 536-60 2014 farm super (or something like that) model.

using yesterday and lost all hydraulics on the joystick. It’s as if I’ve hit the little red mushroom button to isolate the joystick, but haven’t. No error codes on screen, steering and drive all fine.

can activate and deactivate the various lock out switches and the screen shows up as them being locked and unlocked respectively.

Plenty oil, no leaks, no fuses blown, not working hard or running hot. have turned off, left with isolator off for ten mins and tried again but still no hydraulics.

other functions on joystick work - gear change and constant flow button (but no oil flows).

got a nasty feeling this then points to pump failure, but I’m surprised it went from 100% fine to nothing instantly.

Any ideas??

If it was pump surely you would loose steering unless I suppose it has 2 pumps?
