[QUOTE="wings5j, post: 33423, member: 1341"] 2005 DMax has the right solution: lift arms all the way down. I usually have the bucket tipped up so it isn't touching. After going into the float position I then tilt the bucket to the desired angle for back grading, etc. It works really well and is primarily used in reverse. Once you have completed a pass in reverse, if you have room to tilt the bucket clear, you can move back and forth staying in "float". If you have to raise the lift arms, it will come out of "float" and you will have to reset it for the next pass. Be careful when grading downhill backwards as it may ocassionaly lift the front end and scare you a bit. The float position is also useful for snow plowing with a snow blade and in this case you can use if going forward ;-) Good luck, it is a nice feature and it comes in handy. John [/QUOTE]
