This is the perfect thumb for backhoes with extendable inner sticks. Wouldn't you like a simple, rugged thumb without the extra weight and complication of stick plumbing and another hydraulic sylinder? Wouldn't you like to take advantage of the hydraulic forces already on the machine and be able to remove the thumb easily when it isn't needed? As soon as you see a Smart Thumb in action, it will be obvious that this thumb makes a ton of sense. It is simple, strong, and can easily be removed when not needed.
A backhow without a thumb is like working with half a box of tools - you work harder to make up for what's missing. Equip your backhoe with a Smart Thumb before you need to load a truck, place rocks, or tear down a building. Start working with the right tool for the job! A Smart Thumb will quickly pay for itself and give your backhoe a real grip on things.
