It's worth doing.

The additional teeth make a big difference. Nice to be able to manipulate the BH from the driver's seat. I have to get off, and climb on the BH seat.

I use my BH with seat facing forward all the time like Genev does for lifting moving rocks, logs, digging a small hole etc. - stuff that takes a few minutes. For longer or bigger tasks I reverse the seat.

My thumb is from Brotek and I need to modify it to get a bigger gripping area - it's 3" x 5" and doesn't extend past the BH teeth. I'm going to look at welding two pieces like you did on each side.

I hated the flip-around seat on mine anyways, I changed it to one where the seatback folds down. I fold it down, sit on the back of it, and just swing my legs around to face the back. SO much better!
