Customer Reviews for VEVOR Hydraulic Backhoe Thumb, 45.7cm 1.27cm Thickness Heavy Duty Excavator Thumb, Black Steel Weld On Thumb Attachments with Hydraulic Cylinder, Mechanical Hydraulic Thumb for Backhoe/Excavator

Works good on our tb135, had to reinforce around main pin after hundred hours of serious use. Will take everything the excavator can throw at it.

Works but would be better with 12" stroke cylinder to keep thumb out of the way while digging. It is well made and heavy enough to get the job done

Purchased this thumb for my 1 tonne New Holland excavator. Really well built, solid as hell. There is a little play in the pins but doesn’t affect the use. Delivered within 7 days of order. The paint is average but I’m super happy with my purchase.

The thumb is a good price and sturdy construction. The only drawback is that the hydraulic cylinders stroke is too short.

Adds great functionality to my mini excavator!

The thumb itself is structurally great. The 6" hydraulic cylinder was way too short to be useful. I ended up cutting the bracket and buying a 16" stroke 1.5" bore cylinder and now it can open way up and have around 130 degrees of movement. In hindsight, I should have bought the non-hydraulic thumb and added my own cylinder since I ended up having to get completely different hoses for the new cylinder I bought.

Heavy duty unit. Well made. Wish they had made the unit longer to accommodate a longer hydraulic cylinder. The 12" cylinder that comes with the unit is not able to move the thumb back far enough out of the way for digging and other operations. It sticks down at almost a 90 degree angle from the arm when fully open. Other than that this is a very good product. Caution, the wire lock pins that hold the (3) main support pins, comes off easily when using thumb in brush. I lost (2) and ended up tweaking one end of the thumb because a main pin partially came out while picking up a pile of brush. I ended up replacing the wire lock pins with large cotter pins.
