ABSTRACT:
A stabilizer system for a utility vehicle that includes a stabilizer unit having a hydraulically-actuated piston cylinder, a leg connected to an end of the piston and carried within a protective sleeve, a ground engaging pad, and a hydraulic actuating and control means by which the leg and pad may be extended and retracted within the dimensional profile of the vehicle. In the retracted position, the leg and pad are carried above the undercarriage clearance space of the vehicle. Advantageously, a utility vehicle equipped with the system may be moved into and operated stably in terrain providing limited sidewall and undercarriage clearance space and having highly hetereogeneous and non-supportive soil conditions.
