Backhoe Thumb for SC2450??

[mmchap]

Hi, I bought a CC/Yanmar SC2450 last year and I have come to the conclusion that I really need a backhoe thumb for this thing for it to be useful around the property (I have tons of brush and wood but no holes to dig). Has anyone found a preferably bolted on thumb that would fit? The extrememetalproducts one only fits a 3" arm where the 2450 is around 5-6".
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi i am looking at getting the sc 2450 also i asked the dealer about the thumb and he said they have one and it was about 350.00 how do you like your tractor mine will be used for clearing a lot of brush at first. How does it do?

Using a backhoe to do brush work doesn't seem too efficient to me.

Using a backhoe for brush might not be the most efficient thing, there are probably several others, but if it's what you've got, the thumb will make your work much easier.

True enough.

Go to the "Kioti Owning/Operating" section and look to the right-you should see the sponsor add for MIE (Michigan Iron and Equipment) click it on and find their custom built mechanical BH thumbs that are also upgradeable at any time to hydraulic.
I have purchased a bucket grapple and a BH ripper tooth from them-both very well put together.
