I wish these style pads would have been avaliable when I did the undercarriage on my 931B. These are on a 931C and I've never seen street pads with the first trouser higher than the other two.
Give ya more bite going forward and more drag turning, right?
Maybe a little I guess. At first I thought someone welded grouser bar on but nope they are made that way. I think they would work pretty good. What's interesting is the backhoe has the rubber pads on the stabilizers which is usually for working on pavement or hard surfaces. I don't think you'd want to drive on a surface that the pads could damage. Maybe a 931C with a backhoe still isn't heavy enough to damage pavement??
