Kubota BX 25 Want to add a thumb to BT601 Backhoe, Looking for advice.

Hi, I want to add a thumb to my BX 25, Ideally I would add a hydraulic one but I am unsure on cost and if it is worth it.
I found this one,

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0732SFZQ4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A2OSE6G7MS58ZO&psc=1

I am open to other ideas as well. Any info on the hydraulic ones?
Is the one in the link worth it?

Thank you

really F1765, ? , you can tell what grade steel is under the powder coat ??
I spent almost 12 years designing,building spectrometers to analyze steel and could never tell by looking .
At $138 it's a bargain as there isn't a lot of stress on the thumb when holding objects.

Green that is what I am thinking Is not going to have a ton of stress for what this machine can do. I have no problem spending more if need be.
