What is considered the best, reasonably priced thumb for a new KX018? While I haven't seen one in person it appears that the Amulet POWERBRUTE mounts to a long bar which is then welded to the stick as no factory mounting point exists on the KX018 like with larger machines. Would a thumb that actually shares its pivot pin with the quick coupler/bucket be better?

thanks

The best thumb is a hydraulic one that works. Intermeshing teeth is helpful.

You want one that hinges off of the bucket pin not a weld on pin assembly.

Why would you buy a new excavator and not just buy the Kubota thumb?

Huh?

I'm purchasing a new KX018 and need a quality hydraulic thumb for it. Kubota doesn't offer a thumb as an option on the KX018.....
