$850 sounds a little pricey. Surplus Sales has cylinders and one suitable might be around $150. I bought the mechanical thumb with my BH77 and that thumb's mounting will lend itself to mounting the cylinder with no issues. I've only had the new tractor for a couple of weeks now, so the mechanical thumb is still a "wonderment" to me, being as my previous hoes were thumbless :c)
I just went out and sat on the hoe. I'm 6'1" and not nearly as limber as I get older . . . can't imagine where a foot pedal would fit in the limited space available for my big feet.
My current project is adding hydraulic chute deflection on the B2782 (front blower). Got the tractor with 3rd function, so the additional parts will only be about $200 (cylinder $108, hoses, fittings and shipping the rest). I'll make the brackets and weld things up.
