Read articles →A dealership walkaround focused on a third-party manual thumb kit the seller designed in-house for Kioti (Coyote) backhoes, including the KB2475L. Covers how the pin-and-clip mounting works, the removable/lockout feature, and installed pricing (roughly $1,100, $1,200 for this model, up to $1,600 for larger units). No actual digging demo, the presenter admits no log was on hand. Best for KB24/2365/2475 owners wondering if a thumb is even possible.
Orchard Hill Farm Equipment is a dealership channel, and the presenter is selling this thumb kit directly, so expect a sales-oriented presentation.
Yes, even though Kioti does not offer a factory thumb option, the dealer designed its own manual angle thumb kit that can be added to the KB2475L.
You pull a clip on the thumb's line, which lets it come up and out of the way, then lock with a pin, and you can put it right back on later.
The presenter estimates it runs around $1,100 to $1,200 fully installed, welded and painted, though prices vary by backhoe size.
The dealer only sells manual angle thumbs, saying they hold more pressure against a log than a hydraulic thumb and cost less.
