[QUOTE="soutthpaw, post: 27453, member: 2815"] They also give u a bit more lifting capacity due to weight behind the rear wheels. Just this afternoon I used the rear stabilizers to force the bucket vertically into the dirt to dig a narrow trench for my gutter runoff drain from the house. without the stabilizers it just scrapes back and forth on the surface but extend them and the bucket bites right into the dirt. also work good for augers and tree spades and other stuff that needs more downward pressure. I added them cuz got them cheap and the machine was already plumbed for them. previous owner had removed the stabilizers when he traded machine in.. In the past I even made a ripper to bolt onto rear mounted hydraulics on a 600 series. with quick connects you could also run a set of lines to the front and have a second set of aux hydraulics if you are into making custom attachments... without the stabilizers the SS will tend to rock and pivot on the rear wheels when running a backhoe and trying to get a lot of downward force on the bucket.. I think my local Bobcat dealer has a couple more sets of the rear stabilizers used or new old stock for about $250 a set.. Ill get the manager's name and number if anyone is interested... you will need the pins and lower mounts as those are not included... lost somewhere along the way i think [/QUOTE]
