On my BX2370 I just lowered the mower deck before shutting it off. Shut down engine and raise deck lever back up(also did this to the three point) so, next time it was started both implements are being raised. Then used the left side of the mower deck(60 inch MMM) as a step(if it is wet out it is slippery)((was/am collecting friction stickers at work to put on deck, but it got traded in)). Although now that I think about it the ducks for your shower would work too(Big Bang Theory humor).
