Best Thumb Attachment on the Market
Thumb Attachment - Size Chart
Find the right size excavator thumb for your machine below. All Excavator and Backhoe thumb attachment lengths are based on the operating weight rating of the machine. However, sizes may vary due to additional attachments such as a quick connect or length or the arm.
For the most accurate size we suggest you measure your machine with these easy measuring instructions.
We differ from most attachment companies by offering a wider range of compact excavator and backhoe attachments. This ensures our thumbs will fit your machine like it was custom build for it.
Our Universal Thumb Attachments are 7" wide and made to work with all width buckets. If you'd like a wider thumb attachment we also offer 10", 14" and 24" wide thumbs. Give us a call for a quote on a wider thumb today.

Important Note* If your using a quick coupler ( quick connect ) to swap your buckets its always best to go with the next length up to compensate. Also you want the teeth of the thumb to meet the teeth of the bucket to prevent any binding.

Important Note* You typically do not want a thumb to be wider than the bucket on the machine. Especially if your switching buckets often. Thats why many of our customers select our 7" Universal Width Thumb.
