Jcb 536-60 what is the rear hydraulic fitting for?

[Cobratom]

New to me JCB 536-60 (2008)
Appears to be a single hydraulic line at the rear of my Agri plus 536-60 right next to the hydraulic fill. Anyone know what its for?

Also, buttons on the joystick face, what is the top and bottom button supposed to do?

Thanks and all the best!!

For tipping a trailer, I assume you have the brake pack fitted?

The top button if you have a bucket brush etc locks your aux on so it constant pumps, press the top button at the same time as operating the aux.

It does not have a factory rear hitch installed. Just two additional weight plates. Does a tipping trailer not need a hydraulic return? What turns this aux on/off?

Tipping trailers are single acting. One pipe

But then what turns this on/off to allow the hydraulic fluid to return to tank via the same fitting after the trailer is emptied?

A rocker switch on the dash

Hmm, I do not have such a switch on the dash.
Just to clarify this is the fitting:

You should have a rocker switch with 2 arrows, one pointing up and one pointing down, this diverts the flow from the third service / locking pins to the service at the back.

Do you know what switch your looking for?, it doesn’t have a pic of a tipping trailer on, on ours with the factory fitted hitch it’s a combination of 2 switches, the aux 1 and the 1 with 2 arrows on,

Brilliant Thank you. I assumed this only turned on third function. Anyone know a easy way to tap into a "Return to Tank" line back there?

We had one on the back of a JCB we could not get to work for love nor money.
One day, as you do, I asked it was for a trailer brake

So the switch with two arrows, normal position up, third function on joystick eventually stalls engine in either direction, I assume this must go to that line. Down position operates boom third function/hydraulic Quick attach

Read the manual, if you not got one go back to the dealer you bought it from as it's a legal requirement to supply operators manual with a machine.

It will come in useful for allsorts of other stuff too and for fuse box layout etc.

I am in Canada, so no such operator manual requirement here.
I paid for access to the operators manual online on the JCB portal. It was not very useful and feels very generic.

Have you got the valve on headstock in correct position, also if you haven't got hitch on forklift why do you want to tip a trailer

That photo of your fitting looks like a brake union to me?

 

[Pringles]

@chaffcutter I am almost certain that if the op was to remove the dust cap from the coupling in the picture, then it will reveal a standard female coupling.

 

[chaffcutter]

Just a guess from the size of it, not familiar with that particular model, it would have helped if he had removed the dust cap!

I agree with you, ours looked very much the same as this. I think they use similar on head stocks too, which lead to our confusion.
