A riding lawn care vehicle may include a frame, a steering assembly, caster wheels and a drive assembly. At least a first drive wheel and a second drive wheel of the riding lawn care vehicle are attachable to the frame. The steering assembly is configured to facilitate turning of the riding lawn care vehicle based on drive speed control of the first and second drive wheels. The caster wheels are configured to support unpowered rotation about a wheel axis that extends substantially parallel to the ground and rotation about a spindle axis that is substantially perpendicular to the ground. The drive assembly is configured to be selectively placed in a disengaged state in which rotation about the spindle axis and the wheel axis is uninhibited, and an engaged state in which the caster wheels are at least partially inhibited with respect to rotation about both the wheel axis and the spindle axis.
