NEW! Hydraulic Thumb for John Deere Compact Tractor Backhoes!

A step-by-step installation walkthrough of a hydraulic thumb on a John Deere 260B backhoe (also covering 270B and 370B fitment), sourced from greenpartsstore.com. The video follows the actual install in real time, removing pins, fitting the cylinder, mounting the valve bracket, and routing hydraulics, with beginner-friendly asides on tools and bolt types. It closes with a brief functional demo but defers real-world digging to a follow-up episode. Best for owners about to attempt the same install.

Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, and the thumb was provided by the sponsor (greenpartsstore.com), so expect a generally favorable take on the product.
