Is it allowed to leave a parked agricultural tractor with the plough raised?

Is it allowed to leave a parked agricultural tractor with the plough raised?
Explanation

Correct answer: No.

Leaving a vehicle with raised equipment, such as a plough, is not permitted as it poses a serious safety hazard. The heavy working component can lower by itself, for example, due to a drop in pressure in the hydraulic system, posing a risk of crushing people or damaging property. Therefore, when stationary, this type of equipment must always be lowered and rest securely on the ground.
