AntrimMan - I looked long and hard at making a hydraulic thumb. In the end I couldn't justify the considerable extra $$ for the limited use I'll give it here at home. If you think you want to do something similar, I can tell you where I bought the plans, and the modifications I made to them to fit my hoe.

dfkrug - Thanks for the words of caution. I have a friend that has a 3 pt mounted Woods 7500. He had a thumb put on it a couple of years ago, and hasn't had a problem after more use than I'll probably ever give mine.

Very nice of you to offer. This kindness is what makes TBN such a pleasant experience.
There must be some chinese in me somewhere. All I need is the picture to knock off the thumb, (no offense to our asian friends).
Thanks for the offer,
Martin

Very nice, and very impressive. Thank you for sharing. As with other "really cool" projects, I plan to file your pictures away so if I ever want to build one I will have some ideas. Thanks.
