BXpanded Barracuda Factory Mount Mechanical Backhoe Thumb for Kubota BH77, BH76, BH70 and BH65 Back Hoes
Any back hoe thumb can pick up a stick or a rock. Not all can grab and hold like the BXpanded Barracuda Thumb. Its toothed edges, strategically curved jaws, and close closing gap give an aggressive grip other BH thumbs can’t match.
The telescoping adjustment has five positions allowing you to easily move the thumb from stowed to any of several working positions in seconds with no tools and no extra parts. The jaw length is designed to go slightly above the Kubota factory bucket teeth (much like the OEM Kubota thumb) for maximum versatility. This allows it to be used with any width factory Kubota bucket as well as all BXpanded backhoe accessories. It is designed for compatibility with the newly redesigned BXpanded Quick On Backhoe Bucket Connector while still allowing use with all widths of factory Kubota buckets as well our BXpanded attachements. It does not mesh with the teeth of the bucket but goes inside giving maximum grabbing force where it matters most; against the sides of your bucket...after all, do you really need a back hoe to pluck blades of grass?
The Factory Mount Barracuda uses the factory installed upper thumb attachment point on the dipper stick and a longer pin with grease passage through the forward most hole in the backhoe bucket for attachment. The pins and bolts are zinc plated for corrosion resistance and are included.
It’s built with US made, 1/2” thick steel and heavy wall tubing, with all the strength you’ll need to use every bit of the power of your machine. It’s TOUGH! Just like the job you have to do!
