Matbro TS300 Hydraulics stop working

[NolanCameron]

Hi,

I've a Matbro TS300 for doing odd jobs around the farm. On the odd occasion I would loose all hydraulic control, all movement on the joystick, the stabiliser legs up & down, the chassis tilting and the third service but not the steering or the drive. If I go the the valve chest all movements will work manually with a spanner. If I keep lifting the handbrake up and down all controls eventually comes back working.
Lately this has become a nuisance and the machine is nearly unusable.
I'm looking for any advice as to what this could be. I'm thinking it has to be electrical given everything works manually at the valve chest so maybe a wiring diagram of the joystick and auxiliary switches would help me out alot, if there is one available.
I can't seem to find a workshop manual for a TS300 anywhere either, but given Matbro would have used many of the same parts across different models what is the closest to the TS300 from an electrical view?

Appreciate any help on this.

Thanks.

Has your handbrake lever got a safety switch on it? I’ve never known a lodall stop the hydraulics with the handbrake on mind, is the alternator charging well? Check the plug where the joystick wires go out the cab I’m amusing it’s simlar to my tr250 where it’s a big multi pin plug

@ACEngineering is the man to ask

Never seen one TS300 is a 12metre construction machine and hydrostatic. Quite rare.

Its possibly just the seat pad switch or the poor attempt at bypassing it that's the problem.
