Help Support SkidSteer Forum:

Message: <blockquote data-quote="612ride" data-source="post: 96855" data-attributes="member: 13856"><p>I'm hoping someone might have had experience with this problem. I've searched online and can't seem to find any answers. I have a 2008 John Deere 325 skid steer with electric over hydraulic controls.I can't get the Ebrake to release unless I hold the drive joystick slightly to the right. It shows a code but the Deere dealership by me has never had any experience with that. there is a diagnostic menu in the dashboard and when I go to the left joystick it reads 0 which means it is centered for the forward and reverse but gives a "---" for the left right. If I push the control forward or back it goes from 100 when you go forward to -100 when you pull back. When I can get the left to right to finally start to read by moving the joystick all around it will go to -100 on the left but it sits and fluctuates on the digital diagnostic screen anywhere from 80-98 and just rolls through numbers back and forth. If I find the sweet spot by holding just to the right I can get the Ebrake off and the hydraulics will move. There is no calibration for this machine. The joystick is $1700.00 for the part. The only dealer around that had any idea said he did not think it was the joystick unit but maybe a valve solenoid that was not reading correct. I did set up an appointment to have it picked up but it is a minimum of $500.00 for the pickup and diagnostic so I thought I would reach out before and see if anyone had experience with this or any ideas. Thank you in advance.</p></blockquote><p></p>
