Basically no instructions so lots of experiments. Installed it on a 3″ Kubota B21 hoe Good fit. Likely going to be a long lasting and very useful addition.

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

Works great with NorTrac Towable Backhoe
It’s not a perfect fit, but there is an easy work around without any modifications (look closely at the photo). I used it today on removed a big dead pine tree. It worked exactly what I was hoping for.

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.

Works for my Central Machinery Towable Backhoe
Installing this on my backhoe took about an hour and added a lot more ability to my machine.I installed this on my 9hp Harbor Freight towable backhoe and it worked with no issues.I love how adjustable it is, as long as it mounts onto the boom, you can pretty much position this thing anyway you need it. The rear pin is easy to remove and allows fast re-positioning for machines that don’t have a control for the thumb.Shipping was fast and no packaging issues. Kinda hard to hurt this thing in shipping as it is designed to take a beating.

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.

I liked the product but would not fit on my back hoe arm. To bad that it was not made to be adjustable.
