Grapples for Bx23s, or thumb?

   / Grapples for Bx23s, or thumb? #21  
You want to call Jery Dunn (site owner) and ask him for references. I think he does well via word of mouth. Jon
I emailed him today, he doesn’t make the mini grapple for SSQA, but he does the horizontal.

Doing a quick google search yielded a number of thumbs out there and you would need to find one the right size. You could maybe even have one custom made for not too much I would think. They are not very complicated. You do need to change the pivot pin of the bucket to a longer one to accommodate the thumb hinge point. And I would stay away from the clamp on type of thumbs since they can sometimes create damage.

I would not go too much smaller than a 12 inch bucket. Depending on soil type you may find that a smaller bucket just gets plugged up and then you have to use a spade to clear out the bucket every time. Kind of defeats the purpose.

I hope this helps!!

Here is a link you can check out.

thanks for your help. I ordered one last week.. 4-6 week delivery. will keep you posted.
