Overview
Focuses specifically on a hydraulic thumb attachment for the 260B backhoe on a 1025R, showing its two operating modes and how it integrates with the dump/curl circuit rather than offering independent control. The practical task is pulling a dead shrub stump, which Tim admits is too small a job to form a firm opinion. Best for 1025R owners weighing whether a hydraulic thumb is worth adding.
