I got the standard kioti KB2365. No not the rubber pads. I read that information here, as I recall, (on the Kioti tractorbynet site) on some of the blogs about "shoes" about some models being shipped without the shoes. So I did not read it on any official Kioti web site. Might be I recollect wrong about what I read here, or I misinterpreted what I read here. The aftermarket "shoes" I got bolted right on to the outrigger "pads". What I put on grabs and stops the tractor from walking here in our rocky clay soil in northwest Connecticut. The smooth pads would just slide in the dirt or on the grass when I used the backhoe. You certainly know more about this than I ever will - all I know is I do love my ck20HST - with the backhoe.
