I agree with pete 23. Use the float position on the 706 to lower most of the time.
Personally I would hook it up so you have to pull the lever to raise the machine, and push it forward to lower, though.
Under normal circumstances, you want to leave the lever in the full-forward float position while mowing. Having it hooked up this way, up is up and down is down. It's logical, and you have enough to think about at the end of a row.
You can also slowly lower the head and stop partway by using the normal lower position of the lever. The tractor's relief valve will prevent damage, and it's only for two seconds at most. Normally, though, just shove the lever to float when you lower the head.
The cool thing you'll find about the 706 with the detents in the hydraulic levers is that you can let the tractor the lifting and lowering for you. On the 560, you have to hold the lever, which is awkward when you are trying to watch the machine and drive at the same time. On the 706, you can drop the head and concentrate on making last-second adjustments to line up for the next pass with the mower.
