STABILIZER PADS

The backhoe is supplied with flip-over stabilizer feet
as standard equipment. They are suitable for most
backhoe work and generally are all that is ever
required. However, foot pad kits are available as
options. These kits bolt to the standard feet and
increase the versatility of the backhoe. See Figure
10.
