Some dealers and/or customers have installed aftermarket rear stabilizers on some Skid Steer Loaders, Multi terrain Loaders, and Compact Track Loaders. When the stabilizer is used in an improper manner, the stabilizer can apply excessive load to the coupling interface between the host machine and the Backhoe. This can result in the elongation of the latching pin holes in the Backhoe Frame. When this happens, the Backhoe can be uncoupled from the host machine and the Backhoe controls can enter the operator's area. This could cause injury to the operator. Rear stabilizers are not approved for use on the Skid Steer Loaders, Multi terrain Loaders, or Compact Track Loaders with any Backhoe.
