I had a mechanical thumb on my former tractor’s backhoe and it was awesome for picking up logs, boulders, crushing roots, you name it. You're going to love it.
Really do wish my KB2475L had the upper pin bracket built into the arm so I could install a thumb without welding. Guess mine is an older model (2017). Probably wouldn't be too hard to fabricate the bracket. Thanks for the video!
Kioti sells a bolt on kit CKA166 to use the thumb - there is a picture of it at this website: www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/kb2475l-backhoe-come-with-mount-for-thumb.393598/page-2

That thumb is well made. I've done one for my friend Dave and for the time and work involved, you got that thumb for a real good price. Thanks!

Did the instructions come with torque specs for the bolts?
The torque specs did not come with it. However, the torque specs can be found in the backhoe manual.
You're 3rd. Hole or 2nd hole is better for picking up things, you will have trouble using your bucket the way you have it now.
Thank you for the tip!
Did you buy the backhoe with the tractor?
Yes. That way it was part of the loan
