Float basically eliminates the down pressure of the hydraulics on the bucket. You can still control the angle
of the bucket while in float, helps out while plowing snow etc, allows the bucket to "float" over the surface you are grading or scraping.

Very helpful when trying to level some dirt or gravel also. works even better if the bucket is full of whatever you are leveling since it adds weight.
