After Market Thumb For Bobcat Backhoe BH76

[Snowlan]

Has anyone found an after market thumb, either mechanical or hydraulic, that fits the Bobcat BH76? I asked the Bobcat dealer to price the thumb today, they only have a mechanical option and it was $1,700 CAD!! That is crazy, Bxpanded sells nice looking thumbs for Kubota for $369 USD that fit the Kubota BH77 which has similar capabilities to the Bobcat. Bxpanded told me today that it wouldn't fit, I asked for drawings so I could measure and they didn't answer that request at all.

I’ve been looking at something like this for my Bradco.
I need to measure the boom and bucket first.

Almost can’t get the metal to fabricate one for this price.

Though sold by Titan, I’ve seen a company called Mophorn with the exact same picture advertising.

Backhoe and Fronthoe Thumb for Excavator

The mechanical thumb for a backhoe attaches to the boom and has 5 possible positions to help you stabilize materials which are hard to control.

I have spent too many hours searching for options on this, I would prefer a pin on solution. This backhoe model may just be too new for any aftermarket offerings.

Can anyone offer any comments on the Bobcat option? Has anyone bought and used it, any pictures of it?
