Kuboy, it's a matter of practicing feathering the joystick so the bucket falls more slowly as it approaches the ground. You'll get used to that fast once you practice.

The only time I am tempted to use the bucket lock is when I am doing a lot of backing such as using the rear blade to push snow. The Loader control on my tractor is located next to my right knee which is great for using the loader, but easy to hit with my knee when backing. But even then I don't use it much as then I have to switch it to use the FEL. The dealer said it you are mowing with a brush hog and have the FEL on as a counter balance, you can engage the lock so that you don't accidently stab the bucket into the ground. On my first lap of mowing I use the bucket to fend off spiders hanging from the trees. After that, I guess I could, but usually don't.
