The only thing a dove tail has over a flat is loading & unloading. I haul golf carts all the time on my flat 18' trailer with ramp gate. Some of the non lifted carts are very close to scrubbing the floor when loading at sharp angles. If your loading lawn mowers it would be a better choice for the ramp if it's a dove tail. The angle of the ramp will catch the blades if the trailer isn't sitting just right. The dove will take this out of equation.
