Liability. With the rigid links the mower acts sort of like a wheely bar
if the operator decides to act stupid. It also prevents the mower from
tipping up enough to expose the blades.

Personally I like the chain because it makes the mower follow the
terrain better. Also makes it easier when your backing up as the mower
will ride up instead of trying to dig in.
