Re: Speaking Of Backhoe Thumbs

JoJo,

Amulet manufacturing makes a HoeClamp. It needs no hydraulics and it doesn't have a stiff arm. I know a guy who has had one for ten years and he's happy. Other manufacturers may have them. I think they are called progressive linkage thumbs.

I would think that it shouldnt be a problem, but I would check with the people who make the thumbs though.

It appears that on the Amulet HoeClamp there is no welding involved, just a straight pin on install. It looks like a very good system.
