ECOTRIC Universal Backhoe Thumb Excavator Attachment Fit for 3.25″ Boom Width Compatible with Kubota Woods Mahindra Deere JD Claw Tractor Black Powder Coated Steel Bolt On Durable Heavy Duty

Well made and works well
I was surprised by the build quality. It did require a shim to fit my Woods BH6500 as my boom is a little thinner. Also had to drill some new holes in the top bracket so l bolts would clear the hydraulic cylinder when the bucket is curled all the way in. Works well and worth the money. I recently broke up a bunch of yard boulders using feathers and needed something to help moving rocks and small boulder pieces (50 to 300 pounds). Does the job pretty well versus moving stuff by hand. Little bit of a learning curve but after about 20 minutes I had it down. Will be using to make a stone wall and it will be very helpful placing those 300 pound rocks in place. Should help save my fingers.

No instructions included
It’s wonderful having one of these for my backhoe. Not a perfect fit for bx24 but I can make it work until I weld it on. Beware- because of the fit the thumb with slide up and down and you could break off a hydraulic fitting

Dose not fit a 3 1/4 “ boom
It came in a box that was ripped up and then it wouldn’t fit on my 3 1/4” boom it was only 3 1/8” wide don’t waste your money

New Holland 757C Modification
The price was right. I had to do it. The New Holland boom is about a 1/4″ wider than the unit. The least confusing way to explain what I did is I cut the boom mount in half (not as bad as it sounds!) By doing this the thumb will now mount inside the boom mount, not outside. This means that once cut in half. The “knubs” left on the pivot hole of the thumb will have to be cut and ground flush for it to swing into the stow position. This was actually the longest part. The pin that the support arm for the thumb pivots on will have to be cut to allow the thumb all the way up. Remember the thumb used to come up on the inside. Once cut you will have to mark and drill holes on the inside & insert cotter pins on either side to hold it in place (see picture.) Last I drilled and bolted a 1/4 piece of stock to support the back side. (see picture.) I know all of this sounds deep. But it’s not bad. You need a 4″ cut wheel, a drill, a couple cotter pins, and 3 longer bolts for the top of the boom mount. My boom mount sets where it’s at to cover clearances with the bucket as well as the bucket cylinder. You’ll see as you get into it what needs to be tweaked. I picked up some really heavy boulders. Maybe 3′ x 2′. A few hundred pounds. It did mess up the some teeth tips on the thumb. I wished they were harder. But for the price it did good. You can always pull the thumb off and throw it on the bench to beef it up. This could have been welded and saved some time and purchasing the 3 bolts. I wanted to be able to remove it if need be. Good Luck. Be careful. You know both the manufacture and Amazon won’t be liable & not recommend mounting this any other way than instructed by the manufacture.

I knew when I ordered it I would have to modify it to fit.The quality is very good,the steel is thick so the weight of it is around 50lbs. Very durable.So far I used it to remove roots from my 80’long hedge I cut down along with a few birch stumps.

Some of the bolt holes where off. With a little bit of modification, it fit perfectly. Never had a chance to try it out, but it looks great.
