Having any brand of a CUT backhoe with a hydraulic thumb,
mounting a ripper tooth will flat out will take longer to attach. Having no thumb or having
a mechanical thumb will take less time to attach as there is no extra set of hydraulic pin
holes to line up and thread through.
A hydraulic or mechanical thumb does not HAVE to share a pin at the end of the dipper.
Mine does not. There are pros and cons to this, as with other choices, but one of
the cons is surely how hard it is to install that shared pin.
