JCB 212S won't move right away

[Balton52]

Running through this annoying issue with my JCB 212S and hoping someone here has a clue
The machine has started locking up when I try to move it, sometimes it'll get going the right away, but other times I'm sitting there for a couple of minutes before it finally decides to cooperate and when this happens, the transmission pressure warning light is on, I'm not 100% sure but I'm guessing it might be the pressure sensor
Has anyone dealt with something like this before?

I had a similar problem with a different model a while back.. It ended up being a combination of low fluid and a clogged filter. The transmission was just struggling to build up enough pressure, especially when it was cold. Have you checked your transmission fluid level and condition? I mean a lot of people overlook this, but it's a super easy and cheap thing to rule out. If it's low or looks gunky, change it and the filter. Actually even if it looks okay, a new filter might be all you need! If that doesn't fix it then I'd go with what you suspect. A pressure sensor is also a common point of failure. Let us know how it goes!!

Thank you very much for that and your time.
We will have a look at that as soon as we get chance and let you know.
