Drove my Grand L6060 out into the pond and it floats just fine. Caught a 5 lb 4 oz large mouth too.
Learned that my 1025r had float from you lol.. Front snow blowing used to need constant adjusting....Now push it in float and drive. Lesson is read your manuals!
Nice, glad to hear it!
Great Video! Informative! Great show & tell so we can visualize......Not all of us are at the same level understanding. I'm entry level, but trying to absorb allot of info. I have front snow blower, your video made it click to use float to my advantage, but can take it if needed. Appreciate this video very much!
Totally loved this video. I purchased my John Deere 3033R tractor brand new. They gave me about three hours of instructions on how to use the tractor since I never owned a tractor 🚜 before. John Deere NEVER explained the Float Function to me. After using it like 20 times since watching this video it was a game changer for me. I now use it all the time to level off my dirt road. Thank you so much Courtney for making me aware of this Float Function. 🚜🚜🚜
Nice work with the camera, Courtney. Ah yes, the handy float setting. The best feature for making that gravel driveway smooth!
took me a while to find it, but afterward, it was indispensable in doing landscape work!
Yeah, it is very handy when needed!
I noticed that one of my levers on my X728 "clicked/locked" into place when I pushed it forward all the way, but I didn't know until your video that it was the _float_ feature. Thank you!
I am not aware either but it seems weird to own a tractor and not know the controls
when back dragging ,like some wt in the bucket to compact gravel further when doing my driveway
TY, Sir.
Thanks for watching!
Float feature is so over due….glad you jumped in…hit so many walls…trying to add float for the rotating ram on a Del morino

Thanks for the info! I wish my B2601 had a float function on my mower deck.
This makes me wonder if there is a way to add a float function to the rear hydraulic kits from Summit? There's a company that sells ditch and bank flails that offers an add on kit with their machine but dont offer any real info about valve itself. I only mention this becauseive tried to find such a valve to use and cant find anything.
Hello Courtney, Where is the float feature button on my 4066r? for the PTO implement?
Does my JD 4300 have the float function for the loader? For the 3-point?
Nice "float" function explanations! One thing that might freak a new owner out about the FEL float function... If you have the FEL attachment (bucket) on the ground with the FEL boom cylinders in float mode and you encounter some kind of higher resistance, the front end of the tractor can rise up off the ground. In reality, what is happening is that the tractor is "ridding up" up the boom cylinders and will do this until the cylinders bottom out on their stroke. This doesn't normally cause any damage as long as your ground speed is not overly fast and you're paying attention.
Thank you, I have had that problem and thought I was doing it all wrong
@@dalcassian56 You can also temporarily pop the boom cylinders out of float back to the neutral position to push past the resistance and then return the boom cylinders back to the float position.
@@bradmeacham6982 Thanks again! The first time I tried the forward float, the tractor lurched up so suddenly I nearly cracked my skull on the frame of the cab. Thank god this skull is so thick! :)
Do you have to do something (shift wise) to let you 3pt float? We have a 2025R with a bush hog. Maybe it's floating already?
How about the bucket re-gen/fast dump mode, by pushing the SCV lever fully to the right detent? As I understand it, it is essentially a float mode that allows the hydraulic oil to freely circulate between both sides of the cylinder piston.
Good call, yep very handy indeed!
No. It uses the oil being returned from the rod end of the cylinder to charge the cap end along with the oil that is flowing from the pump on the tractor already.
not sure if my 5030l has that feature on the front loader…I’m adding that to my rear remotes
What Kubota model did you have in this video, love it looks mean looking 😍
Howdy, Kubota B2601 :)
We should be calling you Cortney Spielberg - if we're not already. Nice camera work, it's not easy.
Ha, hardly. You should check out Ryan Knorr Lawn Care if you want to see Spielberg quality!
@@GoodWorksTractors I watched Ryan's stuff, he's exceptional at lawn patterns, really outstanding. He's not too shabby at camera work as well. He'll never replace my favorite Saturday morning show though :)
Does the 1025R's (or any of the other John Deere models) have float on the tilt? I saw a video that a B2601 has it and was curious.
There's a fast dump option if you push further to the right
So I’m guessing floating usually just open the valve on hydraulics just to let it move? Is there adjustable float where you can have some resistance on it to where it would give under a heavy situation but not with just a little resistance? Or to at least slow the amount of float? Like if I have a really heavy attachment and hit float will it lower slowly instead of just dropping it?
No float adjustment that I'm aware of. Just either in float or not.
@@GoodWorksTractors 1st let say, I am new to the sub compact tractors. Mine is Orange & I love it!!
I Know very little, but watching videos like this really help, then I can go out & try info...
Wouldn't the weight of the attachment give the "float" position some resistance? Say a front mounted snow blower, more resistance than say a feather sweeper. LOL (a silly comparison, between attachment weight and "resistance the Shane is speaking about?
Shane 2nd point: Kubota has a hydraulic control valve, on right side of seat. For the very reason Shane states, heavy attachment will drop like a rock. This valve if set for the attachment will prevent that from happening, I have read & seen in videos, but I thought it was for only rear hydraulics, not mid or front, say for snow blower?
Am I correct or wrong?
Thanks for listening.....
@@michaelohara5703 Only for the 3 point . You might have a counterweight locked at a certain height on the 3 point while using mid or front equipment.
In that video where you showed the fourth and fifth function levers, are those the only way to control the functions of can you control them with the loader?
Those levers are the only way to control those additional functions
I remember you using a diverted kit in another video. Is that not available on that tractor?
I’m a new BX owner so my questions may be redundant for you but does my bx2380 latest model have float mode, don’t want to push to hard on the lever just in case it does not but you seem to know. Thanks Dean
Yes sir, it does have it. Pretty much every tractor in the last 20 years, maybe more has that feature. Just not that well known. Thanks for watching!
My bx2380 does and found out last month by messicks channel new bx owner myself, learning everyday by these videos!!!
So.... it works on the mower deck too? In other words if you push it down all the way the mower is in float mode? I didn't know that.
Howdy, doesn't really matter how far down, but it will have that flexibility to move vertically in between it's maximum raise point and the distance you've lowered the deck.
Master C is always in float mode. He is able to adjust on the fly to the demands we put on him each day. 😀
🤣👍
I have searched web sites for a bush cutter to fit a 1023e john deere, the bucket is 54 so bush cutter the same? does anyone have one and can the tractor actually work it?
Use a 48"
Traduzione in ITALIANO. Mille grazie...
So float is set with the tractor engine off? Otherwise you are driving the bucket into the ground, or am I missing something.
Float can be set with the tractor on or off
The guy did a decent job describing most situations, but he puts so many extra words into each sentence I will probably scroll past the next time I see him.
