Thanks for the pics. That truly is the BEST looking & heavy duty BH I've seen yet. Up here I'm sure that BH would be $12 to 15 grand Canadian, not sure have not priced one yet as I have too many other competing priorities like ROCKS !! Currently looking to buy 40 tons. Absolutely NO rock in our area. Have to get it trucked in from many miles away. HEY, maybe if I rent a transport you can fill her up for me. Vic
That is really sweet!! That is my exact "dream attachment", in a different color of course. Looks great. I am so envious. Now you need to put in some action shots. Congratulations!
I've got the same setup and I love mine. It is amazing at how versatile the hyd thumb makes the bh. I've only used it for probably 20-25 hrs or so but I think it'll be a great tool for me.
I have just a couple hours playing with it so far. When we got the TLB, the hyd hose kit for the BH wasn't in so I had just a mechanical thumb for awhile. Useful, but oh so slow. Now the thumb is like a real human thumb. I have to be careful if getting on from the bh left side as I accidently stepped on the extend side of the thumb control when trying to get my 13's out of the way.
Lee, have you noticed if your left stab lowers slower now with the hyd thumb installed? Mine does and I think it's because the hydraulics to the thumb come through that control valve. If I step on the retract side of the thumb while lowering the stab it drops at the same rate as the right stab. It's only on the left stab extending. No problems raising it, nor with right stab in either direction. Just an observation.
