A traction enhancement system and method of using the same for use with a turf mower having a vehicle frame, a first drive wheel operably mounted to the vehicle frame, and a cutting unit positionable in a first position, where the cutting unit is support by ground engaging rollers, and a second position, where the cutting unit is support by the vehicle frame. A traction system is then operably coupled between the cutting unit and the vehicle frame such that the traction system can modulate the cutting unit between the first position and the second position for improved traction of the first drive wheel.
