Abstract: A stabilizer system in a work machine. The stabilizer system includes a stabilizer pad and a stabilizer arm. The stabilizer pad includes a main body having a lower surface configured for engaging a ground surface of a first type, and may include resilient inserts for resting on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. Wings are rotatably connected to the main body and are rotatable between a position above the main body and a position covering the lower surface. The wings include ground engaging surfaces having ribs configured for engaging ground surfaces of a different type, such as soil or gravel. Locking pins are provided for holding the wings in selected positions.
