#274 Mechanical Thumb on Subcompact Tractor, Useful or Pointless?
Overview
An owner putting a mechanical thumb on a subcompact tractor's backhoe to actual use, picking up an 8.5-foot, 714-pound red oak log and moving rocks, rather than just explaining how it works. The host draws on prior hydraulic-thumb experience on full-size excavators to give an honest comparison and a tentative verdict. Best for subcompact tractor owners weighing whether a mechanical thumb attachment is worth adding.
