sticky loader valve

Well its been a while so here is my next thing i found on my mahindra max 28. I will call the dealer on this next week. When moving snow around using float on the bucket it seems like sometimes i really have to smack the loader valve to come out of float mode. Any one else have this issue even on other brands. I still have a warranty so that's good.

From what I've read here, could be water freezing in the float detent valve.

Yep, do a simple crackle test and see if there is any water in the fluid.

water gets in the groves where the loader lever fingers rest and it freezes use wd 40 or the alike to unfreeze it it happens to my Kubota all the time the first time it happen I broke the metal where the lever fingers rest in I smacked the lever hard a 100 mistake
