It is possible to hit the stabilizer...

[jmanatee2]

The backhoe can hit the stabilizer on my Kubota L39 And I think it could on the Case 680.


And I know you can drop a rock that would definitely hit the stabilizer and ruin it.

Just watch and be careful of them.

Yeah, on the BX24, there isn't enough swing to hit the stabilizer. But there certainly have been times that I could have inadvertently damaged one of them by backhoe actions, as you (jmanatee2) mentioned. I guess it must just be a sticker they slap onto all stabilizers.

its lawyer speak for : if it not posted, then any idiot will not get hurt or we won't be liable for any damage if we DO post the warning label "justs in case" :laughing:

You can in fact hit the stabilizer with a 12" bucket on the BX22. DAMHIKT. :ashamed:

My L35 16" bucket hits my stabilizers. Like others said, almost all backhoes can touch the stabilizers. I know that many larger trackhoes will hit the cab your in if your not careful.

My bx24 bh had a swing arc of 140' the bucket would not hit. My new b3030 has a swing of 180' very easy to hit the stabilizer.

Don't know why not; I have hit most everything else: wife's favorite Dogwood, golf cart, pump house, etc.

Geeze thats funny !!!!!!!!!:laughing:
