A skid steer lock for preventing the use of the drive control levers of a skid steer loader. The device consists of an extendable shaft which has an end plate at each end. Cage engaging means are welded to each plate. When in use the skid steer lock is positioned inside the cab of a skid steer loader above the driver's seat. The shaft is extended to force the cage engagement means through the safety cage present on the skid loader. Once the cage engagement are fully extended into the cage the extendable shaft is locked in position with a locking mechanism.
