I found this nice backhoe on the www.traderonline.com site, and noticed it had a hydraulic thumb (rare to see on a backhoe). I was wondering if any of you know how much of a hassle it might be to put these on a backhoe? My boss said it's not worth it because you have to have a seperate function for the thumb so you can move it and other parts of the hoe at the same time. He says it's just too much work for a backhoe. I'm asking because it would be nice to have one on an extendahoe but if it's not worth it, then I would just put a mechanical thumb on. Hydraulic thumbs are nicer because you can obviously position the bucket whichever way you need to get at something. Just curious.
