Now let me see you scoop up a bucket of dirt with that......................... I always thought the best combo was just a thumb on the bucket but then I dont know if a bucket can be used to dig up dirt with thumb on, so if I put a thumb how hard would that be to take off and put back on. One thing I do know is that I need a bucket on a tractor cause I'm always using it to move dirt. Hi my name is repeat, I need a bucket on a tractor.............

Scooping material from a pile is no problem. Digging depends on the shape hole you need. Going straight down with bucket to get a steep edge in a deep narrow hole can be awkward. Not to deep is easy. Long deep trench a bucket wide is easy.

But get one that detaches easy. Mine comes off with 4 bolts each side or I can just take the lid off with 3 pins and two more for the cylinder. I've only had to take mine off a couple times.

Yeah something like yours is what I like, I dont mind the bolt on bracket but why cant they make it so just the cylinder and thumb be un-pined and removed.

But for now I have put it on my bucket list and focus on a dump trailer about the size of what you have, I just dont know whether to buy or try to build. Without a grapple I can move brush, load logs, load dirt, unload logs but I cant unload dirt.

I have Greens Machine Thumb. It is designed to be removed just by disconnecting the hoses and unpinning the Thumb. The price and weight are also quite low.

That sounds picture worthy or you dont post it enough. I did find a couple pictures of it online though and dont see much for mounting support. Not sure what Green has to do with the thumb.

That looks a bit lightweight all around, but it isn't designed to pick things up; merely hold them so that they don't roll off. It seems perfect for somebody who cuts a lot of wood, but also uses his bucket constantly.
