Thumb for 8B Hoe

ttkeeler · Sep 12, 2007

I have an 8B BH on order and while I am waiting I am researching adding a Thumb. Rankin has three different sizes and they are based off the size of the bucket from the pivot to the end of the teeth, does someone have that dimension that I could get? Their smallest version says up to 17" and the next size up says 18" to 22".

Does anyone have a source for Rankin products?

Ok lets try this another way...does anyone know anywhere online that I can get dimensions on the JD 8b backhoe? I'm not gonna see it until the middle of next month so I am hoping to get some of the researching done before I have it. I am specifically looking for the size of the area that a thumb would mount. Is it 6,7,8" wide, wider or narrower?

Finally got the JD 8B Hoe on the tractor last week, now I just got to learn how to run it.
