I have a 2014 CAT 314E # ZJT00258 and I want to know if it is possible to add a switch to allow/disallow use of the final drives when the hydraulics are engaged.
Two reasons. Theft prevention and I have to move into some very tight spots near structures and large trees on slopes and near steep edges, and be very careful with the bucket. A few times I realize my feet are on the travel pedals instead of the footrests and the travel alarm goes off. Usually associated with stressful bucket moments when I get tense, and I don't want to take valium or some other kind of foot movement lockout.

My current theft deterrent system is very effective if they don't wander off
