Thumb for kubota

I know you guys. no pictures, didn"t happen. My back needs all the help it can get. I put this thumb on my bh4690 backhoe to help with chores. Tim

Nice. I think it needs hydraulics, but i can definitely see how its be useful, hydraulics or not.

Yep! Work smarter not harder! Don't "squeeze" too hard until you know how much your "stiff leg" will take. Good Job!

I would have liked to have hydraulics, but this will do for my need. I agree on the squeeze factor, will go gently at first, if the stiff leg bends, go heavier. I used 1x2x3/16th tubing. The jaw is 2x2x1/4in. 1/2" plate under the dipper. Now for some logs! Tim

I like it!

Nice work Tim. You will love it. Some day when i have the money, oh wait - , I am going to add hydraulics to my mechanical thumb. That will be nice. But that will work good for you. I use mine quite a bit. Great for large pieces of wood, logs, rocks, etc. You gotta use your noggin more.
