Hi dfkrug;
I will start looking for the same valve setup, I like the component performance that you describe, The fixed thumbs are tough because you have to be placed correctly to grab effectively. The excavator isn't so bad because it moves easier. Maybe down the road I'll have to replace the footvalve on the excavator from hammer stuff to thumb stuff. Thank you for your help!
