I don't know but to me the "Jack" of all trades and "Master" at none sort of fits because it doesn't look to actually hold the mower all that straight against the angle - but I guess the operator can be coaxing it with the standard zero-turn drives.

Here's a disc locking brake for casters:

A very cleaver idea for a device to blow up your engine.
There is a good reason why the owners hand books tell you to mow strait up & down hills.
Apart from traction problems vertical shaft engine have a large flat sump.
Running across too steep an angle reduces oil supply to the pump which of course does the same to the engine.
If the slope is long enough you can seize the engine
If not then you wear the pump and put 10 hours of wear on the big ends and top bush every pass.
One of the reasons why top shelf mowers use horizontal shaft engines
