I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new Kubota L45.
The thumb kit adds $1900 to the total cost. I notice that most backhoes I see around don't seem to have them.
I've rented a trackhoe a couple of time, and each time I used the trackhoe thumb. But I don't know if this is something that I used because it was there, and would not really have missed if it was not there.
I have an enormous number of 3" - 6" DBH alder tree stumps to remove. Alder is pretty shallowly rooted, so I imagine based on that that this would be something that I would use every day?
Thoughts and advice?
