XJ2025H Backhoe Thumb

[Plas62]

I have a new XJ2025H TLB being delivered hopefully by the end of the week. I am planning on getting a thumb for the BH w/12" bucket, does anyone have any recommendations?

After looking on the web, I am considering a bolt on thumb such as the Titan Universal Backhoe Thumb. Anyone have any experience with this thumb?

I'd be interested to know the same thing as I've narrowed down to LS and Kioti. The kioti I can get a thumb from the factory but the last of factory options from LS has me looking to see how good the aftermarket items will be.

I bought the Titan backhoe thumb and ended up returning it. I was simply going to have to make to many modifications to it in order to get it to fit/work properly on my tractor.

I ended up buying a Thumb and Ripper from Bro-Tek. I would recommend going with Bro-Tek, if you decided to go with LS. I was dealing with Dan at Bro-Tek and he was good to work with it . Dan told me they are looking at possibly making a QA for the backhoe. I hope they do as swapping between the ripper and the bucket can be a PITA.

This is the weld on 24" Titan thumb. Works perfect, 1/2" steel, great price. Very happy, extremely handy.

The Titan Thumb I bought and returned was the bolt on type.

I looked at the titan one too. Even thought about the hydraulic one if I where to get an LS, but not sure how it would hook up or even if it could be.
