I agree.... BUT.... one thing to watch out for is the PTO shaft rubbing on something when the mower is raised all the way up.
Or that the PTO is not binding because the position is changed.
I owe you a brew.

I just found an owner's manual online. Page 24 of the RCK60D-26BX (drive-over model): "Never operate the mower in transport position".
I have several places that I need to ease the deck to maneuver. Note having the deck fully up might NOT be the “transport” position. Turning the height dial to “TOP” is transport, correct?what difference it makes, I’m not sure, but it does lock the deck up, to allow use of the three point. THAT, I think is the “legal” reason.
Yes - I think it's important to differentiate between having the mower in the fully up (TOP) position with the 3-point all the way up and the mower resting on it's upper-most setting with the 3-point down. And there are some mowers where "transport mode" involves adding pins through the subframe/lift assembly.
