BX25D / backhoe BT602 steps keep getting brokeb

[frogpond]

I wonder if anyone else has had this problem: The steps on mt backhoe seem really vulnerable. I have broken both sides about three times, by backing into things. I'm getting tired of welding them back together or back on. Am I just clumsy? At least my welds are getting better. ? Or should I just order the nice but expensive ones that mount to the cylinder, from Nova Scotia?

Everyone has brain fart moments. If I keep repeating the same mistakes then either I need to learn a different way of doing things or learn to suck it up and own it.

Mikester, of course, you're right! I guess I was just venting. My only excuse is that I do a lot of maneuvering in tight spots in the woods. Maybe I should weld up some kind of guards or reinforcement. ��
