VerifiedHi, My name is***** will be glad to help. We can follow up as needed on here. Professionals are not employees of the site but users of the site and help on here as time allows depending on their daily schedule.
You have a couple of options here. You will need to either install your return to tank valve option or you will need to buy an aftermarket Aux hydraulic kit to run your thumb function and plumb that into your hydraulic system. You would need to go to Bobcat to order all of the components needed to add that valve option. I hope you find this information helpful and it's a pleasure to help anyway I can.
