I finally tried finishing with a 4 ft magnesium float instead of my 2 ft and lost a whole pour, so which one do you actually run?

Floated 900 sq ft of sidewalk in Tulsa last Tuesday with the long float thinking I'd save my back on the reach, but it dug in on the slope and I chased ridges for an hour while my 2 ft stayed in the truck, and now I can't tell if the tool is the problem or my form is, so what length do you grab first and why?
