Hi Guys,
I finally figured out how to resize this picture in order to post it. This is my 02 Gehl 362. If I can manage to do another pic. I will post one that demonstrates the house leveling feature.

MY Gehl with house leveling in use, notice that the track and cab are at a 15% lean. Used on sides of hills and keeping buket level, Works great.

I'm surprised you don't have a hyd. thumb on that with what it looks like you use it for. Nice looking machine you have there.

Blake,
Thanks for the compliment!
Yea a hydraulic thumb is the one thing that I have thought about getting. I just finished reenforcing the bucket and hardfacing it, after digging all winter in the sand and gravel on my property. Perhaps a thumb is in my future, I have not actually used one before but they do look handy.

Thanks for the link Blake.
That is a great looking progressive thumb. almost as wide as the bucket, great design.
I acutually was looking at there Heavy Duty buckets for ideas (that I used) of how to beef mine up.
Looks like a great Co.
Of course I am on the other side of the the U.S. in Md.

Thanks,
Charlie

No problem. It sure is a nice thumb. I wish Kubota would put that wide of a thumb on their trackhoes. They thumb they put on their 121's is rediculous. If I bought one, which I might down the road (who knows), I'd go through that company.
