Attached are pictures of a thumb that I had made for my hoe. I did not want one welded to the hoe so I designed one that bolts on and folds back out of the way without removing. So far tests have been successful but I may want to later make a longer thumb but that should be easy since it is simply a two inch tube with notches cut. It is pinned on so is easy to remove.

great implementation. I like the way it folds up when you are not using it.

If there is enough interest and if my testing comes up with satisfactory performance, I will ask the fabricator who made it if he is interested in making more and what the price would be.

I would like one if the price is reasonable.

GREAT LOOKING THUMB. LIKE THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO MOVE OR REMOVE IT IF NEED BE.

How's the testing coming? I have an upcoming project where a thumb would be very helpful-- is the fabricator interested in making more?

Add me to list. I was going to weld one up, but I really like that this one folds and is removeable. I would buy one also if the price was fair.
