Backhoe and Fronthoe Thumb for Excavator Reviews

4.6 Rating 50 Reviews
Read Titan Attachments Reviews

The Mechanical Thumb for a Backhoe or Fronthoe attaches to the boom frame and has five possible positions to help stabilize materials that are hard to control. Simply fold it back or slide it away when not in use.

Please measure your bucket before ordering to ensure a proper match. A mismatched thumb will damage your backhoe, as larger backhoes have more bucket force. For example: if you mount a 25" thumb on a hoe that requires a 31", you will probably bend or break your equipment. Ensure that this thumb is at least the length of your bucket when measured from boom to the teeth, or the warranty may void if damage occurs.

The thumb fit my excavator pretty well, the only complaint I have is that the welds on the backside of the upper plate that mates to the stick were kinda sloppy and irregular, I had to grind them down a bit in order for the bracket to fit against the stick and line up the bolts on the back side, but its a small price to pay in order to avoid welding one on my machine. It is easy to use, seems very strong and looks good.

Very well built. Installs easily however when used on the Kubota BX23 backhoe model BT600 you will need to use a 1/4" steel plate spacer because the backhoe arm is only 3". Otherwise it is a great deal!
