Great topic, I will be following this one! I've a BH77 and am hoping to adapt my FEL 3rd function for a backhoe thumb.

Look for "Paul Short" on You Tube, from Newfoundland, he has done one and does mods to his Kubota's, excellent videos.

I bought my BH76 with a manual thumb and very quickly realized that was a pain. Plumbed the rear remotes myself and added a hydraulic ram...works great.

Don't even bother to add thumb unless you get hydro...they are fairly easy to install...and I use mine all the time. Worth every penny....

Not a great photo...but you can see the hydraulic lines...and ram.
