It's a farmer thing. I saw it all the time. We had 28 patrol yards in
our district and I used to deliver equipment to all of them, mostly
tractors, front end loaders and graders. Every patrol had a couple
tractors with mowers and at least also had a bucket. The farmers always
drove them with the bucket up. Everyone else kept the buckets low. I
can think of lots of reasons to keep them low and not a single one to
have it all the way up.
