I mow with an HM235...so probably model specific help to you.
Manual says use "float"
I don't use it.
I just leave my remote valve in neutral. If I leave it in float I find the end of the cutter bar has more weight on it and more apt to "kick back" Bar "floats" better in neutral. (Yes I have the hitch set correctly)
I simply lower the cutter bar using the remote valve (using float position for single acting use on the 495) and when the bar is down, pull the lever to neutral. I raise the bar manually and drop it manually if required for uneven terrain. Can mow faster that way.
If I wanted to mow about 3MPH I could leave it in float.
I normally mow 5 MPH no issue.
My mowing doesn't look like bad haircut either....
