Backhoe KUbota B26 Mecanical Thumb

[islandwolf]

New to the forum. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas about a mechanical thumb for a B-26 Kubota. The backhoe is a BT 820. I know a hydraulic thumb is available from kubota but don't have the bucks right now.

I have the hydraulic on mine, but I would think that the mechanical would bolt right up to the existing mounting bracket used for the hydraulic unit. There is just no comparison to the advantages of the hydraulic set up although I don't know what the price difference is I am glad mine has the hydraulic unit.
