I have a mechanical thumb and have used it alot. The problem is, after you use it, it is in the way for digging out the next boulder etc, so you have to get off the tractor and pin it up.
If I had it to do over, I would have spent the extra money and went with a hydraulic thumb.
I have alot of big rocks, so I dig them out, pick them up with the thumb, then transport them hanging from the hoe and place them, it is time consuming, but it works...I really want a grapple for the loader, and I am already plumbed for it, that would be tha cats meow for my situation, I could dig up rocks then just drive around and pick them up with the grapple, and put them where they need to go .
