Great video learned a lot , one thing I found on mine is you can switch from iso to h pattern by lifting your right drop arm without shutting off the machine , but will have to release parking break after to move , thanks for your video
Excellent video n thanks for your time doing this especially for JCB owners n future owners also. I've only had bobcats in my life, although getting ole paradog myself using a sidedoor entrance n exit is a veryyy big issue. As I have had injuries using the front known on most skidsteers. Just have to come up with the $$$ for a new JCB teleloader.
Nice review of switches and buttons. Great job. Now I have a good idea what the operator has to fiddle with while operating his JCB skid steer. Thanks. 👍🏽🤠 10/3/23
Awesome video, thank you so much for uploading. One question I have is, what is the difference between the hand throttle adjuster on the dash (turtle to rabbit), compared to the live controls on the left joystick (snail turtle or rabbit). Does the left joystick control the speed and the dash dial controls RPM's for functionality in different operations (heavier loads, etc.) Thanks again!
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!
Hi, just bought a 2017 teleskid with a beacon light on roof. It plugs into a socket at edge of roof near upper front corner of the door. Can't figure out how to turn it on!???
Please explain how to release hyd pressure from boom after engine shut down following day's work. Everything i own on the farm always release pressure after using. SS is a 320T 2015' yr model. Machine came with no books, this learn on the job is slow for me. Thanks
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
AWESOME Video! if the H pattern light is not illuminated is it safe to say it's not a feature on my machine? can it be programmed on since the button is there?
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?
Small error at 6:47 The parking brake only locks the tracks. It disables the track motors and applies the brakes. You can have the parking brake and enable the joystick the move the arm, and the aux hydraulic. For example you can use an auger to drill a hole.
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!
@@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.
Yep the good ol heat seater lol. Hey great explanation of the controls. I didn't know what half of mine were used for 😂
Such an incredibly helpful video! Thank you! I’m running a 2011 JCB but this helped tremendously !!!!
This video is really great. I’ve been looking for something like this. Thank you for posting this
Great video! Thank you for making it.

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.

You got a part number for that left joystick for that machine

Great video. Very helpful
Great video!
Thank you Dallan! Please subscribe so you don’t miss our future videos!
Solid! Is there a way to get a 216t into a float mode?
I'm sitting in a Tele lift now and the grey switch on the joy stick tilts forks. Right stick extends boom out left stick brings it in.
What model are you in? What year?

I'm trying to remember, is it tied into the front lights? I don't have one of this model here currently to try.
How do you reverse the flow to the hydraulics? Say if you had a brush cutter and wanted to rotate the turn table in the opposite direction.
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.

@@weldcojcb St. Louis, MO
As far as I’ve found, can’t be added after the fact
@@weldcojcb bummer, thanks for responding though!
How do I lock in the self level. So after I dump a load I can just push it over to bring it up and the bucket levels?
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
I have a 3ts-8t and I did the same process you did, but the high flow light wont turn on? Can you help me?
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
you did not show how Auger is used on skid steer (what controls to use)
It should be the flipper switch on the left joystick but just depends on how the electrical connector is wired
Small error at 6:47

You can have the parking brake and enable the joystick the move the arm, and the aux hydraulic. For example you can use an auger to drill a hole.

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
