Lift float feature

Post by Harry »

After having Case tractors for some time I use them for many different tasks. I never knew that if you pushed the lift lever all the way up it locks into float. I don’t mow with a GT usually just till or my winter GT I move snow with a caster. Recently with the 646 and tiller I noticed when I lower the rear 3 point, the tines would stop moving. If I put it in float the tines move which then turns the dirt. I can’t believe I never knew about the float feature. :cool:

That was one of the first things I found out about mine when I pushed the lever too far and it locked in to float by accident. Really handy with uneaven ground and the snow blower/ blade on front or the tiller or a plow on back .
