Well built
18 inch-12 mm-Standard
It was a perfect fit on my 7.5’ brush hog brand backhoe. It’s almost over built. Very heavy duty. Honestly I could not have purchased the metal to make one at this price.

Ordered this for a customer's micro excavator, we had a hard time finding one with the measurements we needed without breaking the bank on something custom built. We ran across this one and the customer decided he would give it a try, so we got it in and was pretty impressed about how well built it was for being on the cheaper side. So far it's still going strong.

Backhoe thumb
18 inch-12 mm-Standard
Can't beat the price! This has made my backhoe so much more useful! Easy to weld on and get to work. I've lost 2 of the locking pin/rings that hold the main pins in place but when clawing at bunches of branches it's not surprising that a branch could push on off. Other than that it's worth every penny!

Utile

J’ai souder le pouce sur le bras de ma pelle mécanique sur roue de Princess auto. Très, très, très utile afin de soulever les pierres. Par contre, la qualité du métal pourrait être un peu supérieur.

Great price, great quality, heavy duty

This is a really nicely built thumb, very heavy duty. I actually never installed it because it is just too big for my tiny little excavator

Mr

Excellent value bit of kit, transformed my old JCB 801. Should be easy enough to modify it to take a hydraulic cylinder in the future.
Good points.
Very cheap, I couldn't have bought the materials to make it myself for this cost.
Reasonable quality, sure there's no big thick bosses or grease channels, but it's made of thick enough steel that I expect to get a good few hours of use out of it before I expect to see too much wear.
Worked straight out of the box, I welded the back plate on and all the holes lined up fine, no fettling as is often needed with cheap products.
Powder coating actually seems to be pretty good, usually I find it flakes off easily, but this stuff is well bonded
Bad points.
If they had just added one more set of holes, then it would be possible to fold the jaws back up out of the way and pin them there. (Brace would still need to be removed and stored, but I find this fits under my seat, so not a big deal). Right now I just tied it in place, I'll plasma cut some extra holes in in the future. But this would have been easier to do on the bench, before welding the back plate to my machine. If you buy, I'd recommend taking some time to work out how you're going to store it when not in use and make all your mods before welding onto your machine.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this product, for the money, you can't really go wrong.
