They don't really help the turning radius much, or at least, I've never tried that. Never needed to. They work great for getting un-stuck when throwing snow, though. Don't copy the pedal shape as seen on the 782...it's beyond awful. They are awkward to push in. I've re-designed them to hopefully take care of that and make them a little harder to push (see 'projects' section for CAD screenshots, I think), but since I don't have any place to work on them, I haven't made any progress in years. Oh, and they are completely bolt-on, as are all of the modifications I make. All of it can be undone if I ever sell the tractor.
Thanks for the compliments on my website. I plan on continually updating it, but all of my in-progress projects are indefinitely on hold until I can get out of this apartment and into a house with a garage/workshop.
