Hi its the diff lock pedal as john says it is used to lock both rear wheels together so that they are both driving at the same time can be used in muddy conditions when you lose traction on one rear wheel ,it MUST NOT be used when traveling on the road as when you go around corners one wheel needs to turn more than the other.

cheers chris

It is a diff lock as said.

It locks both rear wheels together so they both turn the same speed. Helps you get out of mud when one wheel is slipping.

Often gets stuck down when used. Once out of mud you need to back up a little to help the cogs come apart again.

Very difficult to turn corners when it is engaged so only use it if going in a straight line.
