5000 Ford, 2019 New Holland Boomer 55 Cab, 935GBH BH
My Boomer 55 finally came in and I was at the dealer yesterday checking on the progress. I happened to notice that a set of "Gorilla feet" were installed on my outriggers. I asked the mechanic where he got them and he replied " they came with the backhoe". They are like the ones the ones I had to buy from the same dealer when I purchased my TC34DA new there in 2008. These are slightly larger than the ones I had on the 758C backhoe. So now I don't have to hunt for a set. Nowhere in the 935GBH lit. does it state that they come with these feet so for anyone thinking about buying a new NH backhoe yours will probably come with a set too. The thumb did not come with the backhoe, I had the dealer to install it. It supposed to be delivered the first of next week and I can't wait. I ordered it on May 3 and it's taken this long to get here. :D

I did not think that any OEM SCUT or CUT TLB would be sold without stabilizer pads.

Pretty much all of them just come with a flat "foot" on the stabilizers. They will just slide accross the surface when digging with the hoe. I added angle iron onto the "feet" of my SCUT BH, soon to do the same on my CUT BH. It makes a world of difference!
