Has anyone installed a bobcat style quick attach on a Terramite? If so, how did you handle the installation of the plate on the rounded front bucket?
Also, Does anyone have a recommendation on a manufacturer for a thumb for the backhoe?

No idea on the quick attach. I have been considering these
BACKHOE THUMB
mainly because the 18 inch or 21 inch is available. Everything else I saw is either longer (too long) or way too expensive. My machine is a Lodi 815 which is a clone of the TC5 so I am not sure what your proper size would be.

I made the switch and installed a quick attach made ATI that I had purchased a year ago. It had to be custom fit because they don't make one ready to mount. I think its been worth the effort.

I did a bunch of research on the differences between the different thumbs out there on the market. I found this one to be the best, and that is why I purchased it. This thumb is BEEFY! Check it out....I have no affiliation with this firm.
