I've seen a lot of mechanical thumbs, from bolt on to weld on, and different lengths, for a lot less ($120-$250). What is the difference with the ones RK offers at more than double the price? I'd really like to have a thumb for my BH8.0 but $600 is a lot!
Lots to think about. Thanks for the reply. I don't really want to get something that's going to break first time I really need it.
Any ETA on when these items will make it to the website?
The thumbs are now at our tractors stores, mounted on the backhoes. If you'd like to see one before buying, suggest that you visit your RK Tractors store and see it actually mounted. That will give you the best perspective.
I realize this is a 5 year old thread, I was looking at the RK tractors and noticed that the backhoes look exactly like the Mahindra I own, made by Ansung. I have been wanting a smaller bucket than the 16 inch that is currently on mine for digging trench for 4 inch drain pipe, backfilling a 16 inch with drain rock seems wasteful compared to a 12 inch. Also interested in a thumb. Are RK backhoes made by Ansung? If so I will be looking to do business, if the dimensions for mounting are the same. Having trouble locating these through Mahindra and when you can the prices are extreme.Yes sir, it is the same kit, same price. Please send a private message if you'd like to order one and I can assist.
