what is the deal with these pump manufacturers and these little outrigger feet holding up these pumps,I dont understand the philosophy behind this.It seems as though everytime I see a picture of these there on CIFA,SANY,what is there reasoning? looks like its so small I'd be scared of it punching through a pad.Why not just leave the foot off and have the feet snap onto the ball like cranes and cherrypickers?Is it just me? Or has it caught anyone elses eye?
