BX22 loader feet? Rubber feet

[DieselD]

Yeah, I have seen rubber feet before.Usually in the morning on my BIG hoe, thats used to bust pavement. I wouldn't use them in dirt. I wouldn't care about scratching the road either, there paved when I get done.
Some (new to Backhoes) don't know how to keep themselves from moving around when digging. BX22 is light for Digging.
Most aren't digging in their driveways. Just trying to help the guy.

Given that the BX-22 is designed as an "estate" machine, there is a greater likelyhood that it's owner may be digging in areas that he/she may want to protect from those nice stablizer feet. As an example, if one was using the 'hoe to assist in planting shrubs near their home and adjacent to their paved driveway, the stablizers may need to rest on the pavement.

Now, I don't have anything soft on my 'hoe's stablizers, but I also don't have any asphalt on my drive! If I did, I might consider making some pads to use in those situations, given the expense of the paving.

I do agree that the BX is light for hard digging, but it really does do a fine job for what it was designed for. Folks who buy it expecting it to dig like a big Case will certainly be disappointed!

I posted the question since I use my backhoe alot at my home and my family's. When I get by concrete or driveways it scratches or sinks in. It would be nice to get the rubber inserts for it. I think for the price $190 for (2) I will just go the used tire route.
