Bradco now offers an industry exclusive, which fully captures the power and versatility of the market's best backhoe. With Bradco's superior power and reach, these new exciting options trun the backhoe into a powerful loader for landscaping, land clearing and demolition applications.

The knuckle-arm provides a strong bucket backstop for placing and loading irregular rocks, brush and logs. You have full bucket breakout force to clamp loads. The thumb offers an exclusive knuckled arm that allows easy self-stowage in a compact and narrow package. A simple pin both locks and stows the knuckle arm. No more loose stiff-arm and pins to store.

The thumb body is heavy-duty construction grade featuring ¾" T1 side plates to resist abrasion and twisting. Strong back webbing stiffens the body against the heaviest of loads.

The Bradco thumb is designed to mesh with all 18", 20" and 24" bucket tooth spacing for tight load clamping power.

The hydraulic thumb provides a full 120 degree rotation. Unlike "knock off" thumbs, the Bradco uses the bucket hinge pin so the tines make constant contact with the edge during rotation. The load is not "rolled or bound" when the bucket is rotated.

The hydraulic thumb effectively increases the pick up range by undecutting objects at full reach. It also assists in easier unloading by retracting the thumb cylinder for precise dumping or placement.

The thumbs are offered as either a factory-installed option or one model fits all field-installed options. hydraulic thumbs require two way flow auxiliary hydraulics.
