Ran it to a little problem the other day while moving dirt. Loader would not go into float and raising the bucket with a full load was a little slower. The problem was in the end cap on the loader control valve. Inside the cap is a ring nut that holds the three balls for the float pos. The nut had become lose about 1/3 turn. Probably the same setup on most loader valves.

Thanks for the heads up! I've got the RK55, basically same. I use the float feature all the time with no problems so far. But I'll be checking it over closely for anything loose.
