What's the best position to put the FEL bucket in while the tractor is parked and/or being stored. I prefer to position it flat on the ground for a couple reasons. For the time being I have to leave the tractor out in the weather (hopefully building something soon) and putting the bucket flat or slightly dumped prevents water from sitting in it. This also keeps the cutting edge (especially the sharp corners where the blade and bucket side meet) against the ground and out of harms way so someone standing or walking by it doesn't hit it. Someone told me to set the bucket all the way down on the ground but curl the bucket all the way back so that the hydraulic rams are completely contracted. This will keep the exposed piston rod from getting dirty and corroded. What do you guys think?
