Woods 1009 Loader

I bought my first used tractor and do not know a bunch about them. I have read the owners manual and logged about an hour on the machine. On my loader there is two bars that slide into a tube. The Woods manual shows them as a parking stand weldment. What is this for? It looks like it can be pinned on the loader but I didn't know if there was a purpose. Thanks in advance.

In case anyone else was curious I believe they are to hold your loader up when you remove it from the tractor.

That is correct, parking stands, used to "park" the loader when it's off the tractor.
