BX25d FEL Float?

[Johnkn]

Greetings, does the new BX25 have a float function? If so, how does it work? I saw mention of it in the manual, but could not find mention of how to put the bucket in float. Thank you...

Probably by pushing the lever forward till it stops, then push it farther, and it will snap into float position and stay. It helps to try it with the engine off until you get used to it.

Pushing the stick right. 3 oclock postion.

Push the stick forward, 12:00. Then push again, and you will feel a click. You can practice, by leaving the bucket off the ground. Then push forward to the click and watch the bucket drop.

Push hard forward on the stick and it will go into float or it's tore up. Some people do it in two steps or movements but you don't have to. Just push it hard forward. You may "feel" the two positions but you don't have to do them.

what i do is push it forward till it seems to stop and give it a nice short "snap" forward past that resistant force. I love the float mode, i use it in so many situtations, i just dont think about it. i just use it when needed.

That's called a "detent" in the valve when you push it all the way forward into float.

Yep! that's how it's done.

My bad, wrong info 12:00. Getting older and bad memory :ashamed:
