Set the stabilizers to remove weight from the rear wheels. The wheels are to remain touching the ground as this provides for the widest stabilizer stance and the lowest center of gravity. Raising the wheels off the ground will not only reduce stability and digging depth, but will impair performance and impose unnecessary stress on the unit.
