What position to leave loader and rear blade when parked

dropped and FEL curled in if inside, curled out if outside (so it doesn't collect rain and breed mosquitoes).

I store inside. I level the bucket so the cutting edge sets on the floor. If I curled it up, I would hit an ankle on the cutting edge, (accident prone I guess)

I was an equipment operator instructor for the state highway department. If you got out of any piece of equipment without any/all implements on the ground, you were written up.

Yep, I lower my loader down and the blade as well. I put the loader in float, and shut off the engine and then cycle through the 4 loader positions to take all the strain off the bucket and arm cylinders. Blade on the ground.

I live on a hill. Lowering all implements not only safeguards against falling hazards, but also extra parking brakes.
