Thanks everyone....looks like the Brotek is the way I'm going to go. Ordering the Pats and Brotek this weekend!

I just installed the Bro-Tek thumb and rear skid plate this past weekend. The thumb went on in no time at all and it took minutes get used to using it.

Well, it was a very good purchase. The rocks I'm picking up now would have blown my biceps and back out. I put a hunk of concrete in the FEL and just went around "cherry picking" rocks up.
I'm about to rebuild a retaining wall on a pond. So I just drive over and back up to the wall. The backhoe allows me to place the rock down over the wall and into the water before releasing it.

So far, it's worth every penny comparing to the Dr's bills I would probably have if I wasn't using it. If your thinking about getting one, I would not hesitate.

I am buying BX25 very soon and would like to get a thumb. Bro-Tek sounds good, and I was going to place an order, but I cannot find any ordering info. at all. The storefront at eBay.ca has no items for sale, and the company website (Bro-Tek: Tractor Add Ons) has no order info. either. There is no phone number to call, either. It seems that the last purchase made on eBay was April 2011. Does anyone know if Bro-Tek went out of business or bought by another company?

Also, if Bro-Tek is not available, would someone give me another recommendation? Thank you for your help!

Oh, I see. You have to contact the seller for each item/price via email? Too used to see all the info. on line and calling 800 number, I guess. I did send a general inquiry email earlier but have not heard back yet. Now that I know he is still in business, I will send more specific info. request.

Thank you for your help and warm welcome! I will soon be a proud owner of BX25!
