The VEVOR Hydraulic Backhoe Thumb is designed for professional operators and contractors looking to increase the versatility of their construction, landscaping, or excavation equipment. This 18-inch attachment provides superior material handling capabilities by adding a clamping force to the bucket, though it requires existing hydraulic lines and proper welding skills for a secure installation.

The product includes the primary cylinder, but you will need to source hoses and fittings that match your specific machine's hydraulic port configuration.
Due to the extreme forces involved in excavation, welding is the only safe and recommended method for attaching the mounting bracket to the dipper stick.
The weight capacity is primarily determined by your excavator's hydraulic pressure and the tipping load of your machine, rather than the thumb itself.
Yes, the design includes adjustable and removable components to accommodate different materials and simplify long-term maintenance.
While it is designed for standard backhoe and excavator sizes, you must verify that your machine has sufficient space on the dipper stick to mount the 45.72 cm assembly.
Check the hydraulic fluid levels in your excavator and ensure the quick-connect fittings are fully seated.
Check the pivot pin bolt for proper tension and ensure no debris is wedged in the hinge mechanism.
Inspect the cylinder seals for damage and contact a hydraulic specialist to install a replacement seal kit.
Installation of the VEVOR Hydraulic Backhoe Thumb requires welding the mounting bracket directly to the dipper stick of your machine. Before installation, ensure your excavator has the necessary auxiliary hydraulic circuit to power the cylinder. We recommend having a certified welder perform the installation to ensure the structural integrity of the mounting point. For care, regularly check the cylinder seals for leaks, apply grease to the pivot pins at the start of each workday, and inspect the tooth plate welds periodically for any signs of stress fatigue.
