2023 Yanmar SA425
Does the 2021 Yanmar SA425 front end loader have a float function? I understand all I have to do is push the implement control arm forward all the way and it will click into float mode and the FEL will drop to the ground and float on the surface. It does not work on my 2021 SA425 as it says it will in the owners manual. Any suggestions?

All SA loaders have a float function. As for suggestions, check all of your connections to ensure they are fully inserted into the quick connect and in the correct quick connect. The next thing to check would be the hoses coming from the lift valve to the loader valve. Another thing to check is the adjustments under the rubber cover to make sure they are all snug.

Thank you I appreciate you taking the time to help me with this. I remember the last time I tried to use it, it was working. Everything is hooked up the way it is supposed to be. I will be taking it in now that I know I'm not just imaging that it worked before. Thanks again!

Push it forward quickly, to put in float , not slowly.

Thank you to everyone who responded. I took it in to the dealer and 24 hours later he called to tell me that when it was in for the 2 year bumper to bumper and a repair to the front loader, they put a bolt in the wrong spot in the hydraulic control stick and it kept it from performing the Floatation function. Works great now and I love having it back in action. Thanks for all your help.

Great to hear, thanks for posting back. Give us your assessment of the SA425 after you cross the 100 hour mark.

I've had mine 3 years and well over 200 hours of a a large variety of Jobs. You name it and I've probably done it. I am still amazed at how much work that a relatively light weight tractor can do.

I don't want a 4,000 pound tractor on my lawn, and with the SA425 I don't need to have.

My wife loves using it and told me not to get rid of this one.
