Backhoe and Fronthoe Thumb for Excavator Reviews

4.6 Rating 49 Reviews
Read Titan Attachments Reviews

The Mechanical Thumb for a Backhoe or Fronthoe attaches to the boom frame and has five possible positions to help stabilize materials that are hard to control. Simply fold it back or slide it away when not in use.

Please measure your bucket before ordering to ensure a proper match. A mismatched thumb will damage your backhoe, as larger backhoes have more bucket force. For example: if you mount a 25" thumb on a hoe that requires a 31", you will probably bend or break your equipment. Ensure that this thumb is at least the length of your bucket when measured from boom to the teeth, or the warranty may void if damage occurs.

Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I had to cut it in half and widen to fit my hoe. Other than that great quality with quick delivery.

Product shipped quickly. Looks well built. Had to do a little modification to mount on a woods 750 backhoe. Very happy.

Hey for all you Harbor Freight towable backhoe owners this is the perfect thumb. Fits without any modifications except some minor grinding. Mine works perfect! Thanks Titan. Jack Miller

I purchased for a woods 7500 Backhoe I knew I would have to modify to fit according to other posts I had to widen the thumb and the thumb mounting bracket 1/4 inch to fit the Backhoe arm I also made a 15 inch long shim that is half inch thick at one end and three-quarter inch thick at far end to take up the space between the mounting bracket and the arm on the Backhoe also welded a couple of pieces of metal to keep shim from sliding out if it were to wiggle loose And made one new pin to go through from mounting bracket original was quarter inch too short at that point. The thumb works great as designed and I like that I did not have to drill holes in my boom or weld to it did not want anything permanent or to weaken for any reason. And I almost forgot the price shipped to me for less than $150 and received in approximately five days great service!

Needed a thumb for my Massey 1720. As others have mentioned, I needed a spacer as the arm is a bit narrow for the thumb. Would be great to have some basic pictures of installation. Figured it out after looking at other installs on the internet. Would be 5 stars with included instructions. Great product.
