Backhoe Owners - How do you cover the outrigger feet?

[ArlyA]

Hello all, first post.

I own a TYM T25 with a backhoe.

I am wondering if anyone covers the outrigger feet for personal protection?

Cannot find a single thing online, unless my search words are way off.

I have kids running around and I myself have ran into them when they are upright/stowed.

I am thinking along the lines of rubber/ foam / or insulated covers.
I may even go the route of throwing some buckets over them if they will fit, or pool noodles.

Thanks!

Nice to have you here wit us Chling. Some people can't help themselves.

Bubble wrap?

Bubble wrap?

Yes. And if applied to the kids instead of the outriggers they'll be safer overall.

And if using enough of it, they won't be able to crawl up on a machine and pull any levers.

I know this is an old post but for mine I used packaging foam from a delivery I received. It was dense with a large cutout and fit perfectly. I caught an outrigger foot in the chest while I was walking by. Only need to do that once. Covering it with the foam in tight spaces was how I “fixed stupid.” Good luck.
