This is a Rankin thumb on a Woods 9000 hoe, powered by a L4610 Kubota. I picked up a boulder that weighed over 500 pounds, swung 180 degrees and stretched out to the full extension of the hoe. The thumb just sorta 'unzipped' along the weld and crumpled up. I thought it looked like it was built out of backyard materials, it sure was no match for the hoe. By the way, I was running at 1700 engine RPM and the hoe was not damaged. Now, if I can find Rowski and get a link to attachment sales, I think I will get a real thumb. Rowski, if you read this, I would like to know what model thumb you bought, it looks like the ticket. Thanks, Regards, treebone
