I received my form in a timely manner, but after using for an approximately three hours, the cylinder broke from poor welding. Since then trying to deal with vevor noand getting aI received my form in a timely manner, but after using for an approximately three hours, the cylinder broke from poor welding. Since then trying to deal with Vore and getting a replacement under warranty, has taking over three weeks and I still do not have a replacement part. The warranty department is not very good at all and getting a response or talking to someone is impossible. This company does not stand behind or care about how long it takes to get a replacement part when you are working.

Works good on our tb135, had to reinforce around main pin after hundred hours of serious use. Will take everything the excavator can throw at it.

Works but would be better with 12" stroke cylinder to keep thumb out of the way while digging. It is well made and heavy enough to get the job done

The thumb is a good price and sturdy construction. The only drawback is that the hydraulic cylinders stroke is too short.

Adds great functionality to my mini excavator!

The thumb itself is structurally great. The 6" hydraulic cylinder was way too short to be useful. I ended up cutting the bracket and buying a 16" stroke 1.5" bore cylinder and now it can open way up and have around 130 degrees of movement. In hindsight, I should have bought the non-hydraulic thumb and added my own cylinder since I ended up having to get completely different hoses for the new cylinder I bought.

Heavy duty unit. Well made. Wish they had made the unit longer to accommodate a longer hydraulic cylinder. The 12" cylinder that comes with the unit is not able to move the thumb back far enough out of the way for digging and other operations. It sticks down at almost a 90 degree angle from the arm when fully open. Other than that this is a very good product. Caution, the wire lock pins that hold the (3) main support pins, comes off easily when using thumb in brush. I lost (2) and ended up tweaking one end of the thumb because a main pin partially came out while picking up a pile of brush. I ended up replacing the wire lock pins with large cotter pins.
