Stabiliser (Wheelie) Bars

Following a recent question seeking advice which was posted on the Forum the following may be of some use. It is an extract from the 2007 (published on 2004) ETPC Rule Book relating to Stabiliser Bars, better know as 'Wheelie' Bars.

ETPC Stabiliser Bars

P. Stabiliser bars

A: All Tractors except minipullers

  1. Stabiliser bars are required. The drawbar and drawbar assembly will not in any way be attached to the stabiliser assembly.
  2. On modified tractors where the hitch and wheelie bars must be connected to the same frame, the wheelie bars must be fastened at least 100 mm ahead of the hitch (see illustration 2-15).
  3. The stabiliser bar will extend a minimum of 810 mm behind a line drawn from the centre of the wheel to the ground. The stabiliser pad must not be more than 250 mm off the ground. The stabiliser pad must be a minimum of 15000mm² at ground contact point, minimum width 100 mm, minimum length 150 mm. A minimum of 500 mm will be allowed from outside of one pad to the other. Stabiliser bars are not to be mounted in any way to the drawbar (see illustration 2-15).
