Who has access to Kubota MX5400/6000 Cab model?

[Kavic]

I have a MX6000 several hours away with a loader joystick that will not move. No access to internet or phone onsite. Is there a lever that locks the joystick that prevents it from moving? If someone could post a picture that would be awesome.

It looks like part 230 is a lock lever and sticks out of the plastic trim right in front of and under the joystick.

Sure seems like I would have noticed that lever but I did not. Plus that looks like it would need to be lifted to move to second position. Thought there be something I bumped to cause joystick to lock.

For clarity is it the joystick that doesn't physically move or the loader that doesn't move?

There is an optional third function valve control that affects the loader.

I just parked my tractor lowered the grapple to ground. installed a kubota ready radio in overhead in about 5 minutes, went to lift grapple and joystick will not move. 3rd function buttons allow the grapple to open and close but cannot move joystick to lift. I checked fuse for 3rd function and all those in cab.

and there's no lock-out lever like is shown on that schematic???

I’ve locked the lever on my loader by accident a few times unknowingly. How I have no idea. A brief moment of panic follows the first time you try to move it. Usually when it’s absolutely required
to move it to not hot something!

Well I’m 3 hrs away so I can’t check. However don’t remember seeing a lever like that.

That’s why I love to get someone to take pictures of theirs.

What did you do to unlock the joystick?

Yes I really need to finish mowing the fields. Service said can you bring it in? I said how do I lift loader to get it on a trailer?

Does this look like your cab and joystick layout? This is from an online Kubota brochure. You can see a small lever sticking out at the base of the joystick on this one. Doesn't seem quite as obvious as what I was expecting to see based on the parts schematic.

Will be interesting to see what you find when you're able to check it out. Hopefully you just bumped this. Hard to see what else could completely lock up your joystick.
