18-inch Hydraulic Backhoe Thumb

This 18-inch hydraulic backhoe thumb is built for excavator and backhoe operators who need a weld-on attachment with adjustable grip. The unit includes a hydraulic cylinder and three mounting holes so the angle can be changed to suit different digging tasks. It suits contractors and equipment owners adding a thumb to an existing bucket.

Check bucket width and weld-plate length before

The tooth plate measures 18 inches long by 6 inches wide and the weld plate is 19 inches long. Verify that your bucket matches these dimensions so the thumb aligns correctly. You will also need a hydraulic pump and hose kit to operate the cylinder, which are not included with the attachment.

Heavy-duty steel with powder-coated finish

The thumb uses 1/2-inch thick steel plate formed into a triangular structure for strength and weighs 28.7 kg or 63.2 lbs. A powder-coated surface resists corrosion during daily site work. The bolt-on design allows the thumb to be removed when not needed, and all mounting hardware is supplied for welding and assembly.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a hydraulic pump or hoses separately?

The package contains the backhoe thumb with hydraulic cylinder and all mounting fittings. A hydraulic pump and hoses are not included and must be sourced separately.

Which dimensions should I check on my bucket to decide if the 18 inch tooth plate or 19 inch weld plate will fit?

Measure your bucket width and mounting area; the tooth plate is 18 inches long by 6 inches wide and the weld plate is 19 inches long, both 1/2 inch thick.

How does the 28.7 kg weight affect lifting capacity when the thumb is mounted on a mini excavator?

At 28.7 kg the attachment adds modest mass; most compact excavators handle it without reducing rated lift capacity, but verify your machine's spec sheet.
