Float not working - front end loader twisted

[Caden]

To get to the "float" position, I have to go through "down". So, even though I raise the loader off the ground to start the experiment, it just goes down to the ground. I can feel the click in the handle that I'm putting it inot float, but I can't tell if an arm is sagging or not - the whole things just moves down, fairly smoothly.

Well once it's in the air, you can quickly jam the lever straight through the down position to the float. If it's still moving down once you feel it engage in the float position, then it sounds like float is fine. If it's engaged in float and it hovers midair, then you still have an issue.
