Are you familiar with Walkers? They have had tail locks for years as a option. What the purpose is for is 1) you can hit lock while mowing very steep hills sideways and rear doesnt come down on you. 2) hit tail while stiping lawns and the line will be REAL-REAL straight we have it on all our Walkers along other options and it makes our Walkers hold the hills like our ZTR mower and make alot straighter lines to. Worth the $200.00 thats why I love these mowers for options like this:
