Overview
This video documents an owner installing and fine-tuning a DIY mechanical thumb on an LS MT125 subcompact tractor, including cutting angles, adding shims, and adjusting a bolt so the thumb slides clear when not in use. It ends with a quick demo moving logs and rounds with the new thumb. Best suited for owners considering a homemade thumb attachment rather than shoppers wanting a stock tractor overview.
Appears to be an owner-operator sharing a hands-on DIY modification from their own property, not a dealer or manufacturer.
