Backhoe thumb for the KB2485 on DK45S

quadpa1911 · 04-02-2008, 02:14 AM

First off I want to say hello to this group. I'm getting ready to pickup a new DK45S with a KB2485 backhoe and its this group that helped in making my decision on the Kioti. I need some input on a mechanical backhoe thumb for the KB2485 any pros or cons on whats out there? Weld on or is there a bolt on that will work?

Thanks for now, Brian

Sorry,
Can't help you with the backhoe thumb.
Just wanted to say welcome and congratulation on you new machine.

I weld them on but there is a company making universal bolt on ones.
I never did a bolt on one yet.
I think the bolt on one is call Brodex.
There has been some discussion about them somewhere on TBN.
