My first time on this site, Trying to figure everything out. I have a problem with my LX3520 HSDC that I was hoping someone can advise me on. I was moving snow and my bucket would not go into float. I had to pull the joystick back into center position to stop the down pressure. the bucket will not go up or down now but it will still tilt, I don't see any leaks or hear any noise, I don't have any messages show up on the dash. Has anyone else ran across this problem and have any suggestions that may be the problem, Also, I don't see anything wrong with joystick. Wormy g

Sounds like it would be something in joystick/loader valve. Lift up that rubber boot over the joystick see if anything looks out of place. Pain in the butt but tractor will be on warranty still at least
Run the joystick through the motions while boot is lifted up. I know it’s not problem but just make sure hydraulic couples are attached properly

I would check a couple of things out
1) If there are any quick disconnects involved on the loader valve just take them off and make sure they are well connected and somewhat clean.
2) move the up and down cylinder hoses to the tilt position and see if that makes it lift.
3) move the tilt cylinder hoses to the up and down position and see if it works
BE SURE TO MARK THE HOSES AND CONNECTOR BEFORE YOU REMOVE ANYTHING SO YOU CAN GET BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION.
if you have been below freezing you can try to move it to a warmer location first and see if there was something frozen that is making you have trouble
