New owner here of a 2010 L5740HSTC with LA854 loader. Sometimes I would just like to roll the tractor forward or backwards in my shop without starting. I have the range gear shift in neutral but find it very hard to roll compared to even heavier tractors I have owned in the past. Anything I a missing?

Also, I am considering the purchase of a L2195A front mount snowblower. When lowered to the ground, will the blower "float" or does the joystick require a special modification for this? Any other comments on the L2195A would be appreciated. I definitely need a front mount for moving snow right next to many buildings with garage doors.

Float is controlled by the joystick. Need to push it forward past the detent and it will lock into place. This action is similar to what's necessary if you have a FEL and want to bucket to float.

Can't answer the hard to push question.
