I recently bought a MT468CPS with the LB3102 backhoe. As best I can tell, the hoe is exactly the same as the Kioti KB2485.
With that being said, I can't seem to find an actual listing for the factory thumb for either of these models. The dealer I bought the tractor from said he would call their rep and see about one. The DKA147 appears to be it, but havent found it on any parts websites, etc.
Like Kormidoit, this one already has the mount welded in place to accept one.
The salesman I seem saddled to seems like a nice enough fella, but doesn't know much about LS. I think I knew more about the tractor than he did. He didn't think LS offered a thumb.
LS is one of 3 or 4 brands they carry at this large dealership, 125 miles north. Yes, I am a little concerned that it is so far away.. It was the closest place I could find something that met my criteria that wasn't going to take until mid-Summer to be delivered. And the reviews were positive.
They had an older XU6000 series in the shop split open. The mechanic walked me around it and showed me everything that would be hard to see on the assembled MT. He also showed me the results of the owner not servicing it nor keeping hydraulic fluid in it.. One of the other fellas spent about an hour with me in the back lot coaching me through the functionality of everything. Last tractor I used was the old Ford when I was kid. All in all a good experience. They weren't giving out discounts or free stuff to get folks to buy what inventory they had.. I "think" I saved a little by packaging it all into one purchase. Buy once, cry once..I hope!
I don't know if I will ever need 3 cruise control settings.. As long as it outlives me, I will consider it a good purchase. I am sure everyone starts out believing they will never need to buy another/bigger tractor..
