I am looking at purchasing a backhoe and new tractor (45-55 pto hp) next year and have a couple of questions regarding several options for a backhoe.
First: What are the merits of adding a thumb? Would it be worth the cost to add a hydraulic thumb over a mechanical one?
Second: Should the backhoe have its own separate hydraulic pump system?
Thanks,
Doyle
