The coupler has an odd extension to it. Does anyone know if this was a standard design or added when the unit started serving as a shoving platform? |

Based on a typical FRED height of 2 feet, this coupler extension appears to be nearly 4 feet out. Is this the new norm for shoving platform couplers? |
