The mechanical thumb works great, I wish I had purchased this great machine 8 years ago.
I'm slowly building up the hours currently at 6 hours.
You couldn't of bought it 8 years ago

they only had the older ones, which are way inferior. No quick attach skid bucket, worse hood, bad front loader stick placement, worse hydraulic couplers, harder detach front loader, pin design on the back hoe, a bad dash, no dc adapter, and worse front bumper.
It was wise to wait, the 2018 series bx 23s is way superior to the 2010s. As well with thr rtvs.
