My 310 JD Backhoe did not have pads under the stabilizers when I got it. I do not do any digging on paved roads or concrete. Mostly used in grass, rock hard dirt roads,and soft/muddy ground. I find when I'm digging the next thing you know my tires are touching the ground. Happens alot. Looked into buying the pads for it and they are very expensive for the two and at the JD dealer they said I don't need them they are for pavement/concrete only, so save my money. Looks kind of slippery smooth and flat on the bottom to me without the rubber. Anyone have comments on this? Should I make the investment?

if your pads are smooth right now, that doesnt sound good. I would say pass on the rubber pads unless you are working on pavement, get some metal ones that are like cleats. The tire rim idea sounds like it might work for a cheap solution. At least, it would raise you up quite a bit. -Greg

I've seen guys who have the soft ground problem actually bolt car tire rims on the outriggers ,and take them off when not in soft ground. but if you want the rubber pads ,JD sell them ,about 65.00 each and you need four or make them by cutting up old tire side walls and bolt them to angle iron and than on to the tractor.hope this give you some ideas.

You should have the pivoting rectangular metal pads on the end of the stabilizer arms. These can optionally carry glue-on rubber cushions, which do wear out/get trashed over time. The metal pads (without the rubber) are on the slippery side, but won't sink in any more or less than they would with the rubber in place. The only purpose for the rubber pads is prevention of pavement damage. I run mine with only the remnants (about 10%) of the original rubber in place. If your 310 is like my 310D, you can remove the pins securing the metal pad assembly and flip the whole pad over. This creates a "tooth" good for engaging soft dirt and avoiding the slippage. This won't, however, create any more resistance to the pad sinking into soft ground and allowing the rear tires to eventually touch the ground.

I took the worn out rubber off of mine leaveing a smooth flat surfus. Then I got some angle iron 1/2x2 1/2 and welded together then bolted to the old pad
