I have a dk45se that I bought last August. 1st of all I already went thru the problem another member currently has with the electrical. The dash went dead except for a few occasional buzzes when pressing the horn. I went thru all the troubleshooting that people mentioned here but eventually the system needed a dealer repair. Now the controls on the loader will not permit rolling of the bucket. The arms go up and down and the 3pt hydraulics work fine. There seems to be pressure thru the hydraulic lines when I try to use the roll control; the lines stiffen up and there is a slight squeaking noise like its trying to roll but it only turns about an inch. Then if I turn to the fast dump position the bucket will slightly roll backward instead of the dump position. Any suggestions?

Quick coupler has uncoupled or 1 of the poppets in the coupler is not mating up, centered to the other poppet.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is that something I should be able to fix myself. Are there any schematics of this or YouTube videos around. I've tried some searching already but maybe just haven't hit upon the best search terms.

I'd verify that each and every hydraulic hose connection at the cluster below your right foot floorboard is connected properly, and if unsure you can make sure that each color coded male is plugged into the corresponding female QD.
Curious what the electrical problem solution ended up being?

If unsure where to check, just follow the hyd lines of the fel to each QD (quick disconnect). Sometimes they can look completely connected but aren't. Disconnect each and reconnect. A faulty connection or QD itself can cause the problem you mentioned. As Coyote mentioned, the lines under the right floor board where they connect to the control block sometimes get bumped especially if you have done any field or woods travel.

Wow!! U guys are unbelievable! Sure enough one of the hydraulic couplings under the right foot floorboard had come loose. And yes, I had been going thru some woods. Up and running again. Thanks a million!

The electrical issue got fixed under warranty and I never did get a clear explanation about what the problem was. I just know that I went thru all the trouble shooting that was advised here and the dealer sent a mechanic out to my house and it definitely wasn't something simple like a blown fuse or mouse damage. I keep planning on calling the dealer one day to get more specifics since I think it would be helpful to others here. And yes, that was me with the Massey that I backed into a pond. Just gave me an excuse to get a new toy:)

Glad you are back up and runnig. Those quick disonnects have been know to pop loose while runiing in brush. I'm still tying to fiqure out how to put a decent brush guard over them although it has only happened to me once.
