I don’t have remotes on my sk135 Kobelco & have considered adding them to add a hydraulic thumb. I do have a fixed thumb but it gets in the way from time to time. I usually remove it until it’s really needed. I noticed an articulating thumb that was not hydraulically controlled but rather it was linked to bucket H brace arms. Does anyone know who manufactures these type?

Good day
It is possible to control a thumb cylinder using the bucket circuit switching on/off by electrics.
Kind regards
