- Kubota 5040 with FEL
Hey everyone,
I have decided to purchase a Woods BH90-x groundbreaker bh mounted on a subframe on my kubota m5040 tractor. I am wanting to get a thumb for it also and I am wondering if there is any significant benefit for going to a hydraulic thumb? I am going to be using it on our farm digging ditches/uprooting and moving trees/general cleanup around a farm that hasn't been maintained in years. So my question is would you pay the $1400 additional difference between the mechanical vs. hydraulic thumb? In the past I haven't really had any attachments that had hydraulic cylinders on them but last year I bought a couple implements that had them and I immediately noticed how much easier it was to operate the equipment. I didn't know if I would get any real benefit from the hydraulic thumb. Any advice would be appreciated.
