Float Function on Flail Mower

[confederatemule]

I don't see how the float function is helpful. With the control lever in the detent position the outside end of the mower will float up and down with the contour of the ground. But, the inside end of the mower does not float because it is attached to the extend arms and they do not float with the contour of the ground.
Can someone explain what I am missing?

Does the inside edge have ability to move up and down? If yes does that part of mower require another function to “float”?

That's the way mine works.
