a manually operated brake that applied pressure to the ground between the front wheels.
It won't stop a mower weighing more than 200 kg very effectively
It's essential for heavier equipment to have advanced braking systems specifically designed for their weight and intended use..
When you add brakes to the front wheels of a mower that's not designed for them you're assuming the rest of the components
can handle the extra load placed on them.
Steering components of the mower may not be designed to handle the increased forces from the enhanced braking system. This could lead to premature wear or failure of these components.
In my opinion the easiest way to fix the skidding in that one spot is to flatten out the path or put down some plywood every time you use the mower.
