How to: MEASURE for EXCAVATOR THUMB
Information we need from you:

MANUAL THUMB
  1. Make & model of machine
  2. Measurement of the tip radius. The tip radius is defined as the length from the center of the main pin to the tip of the teeth.
  3. If your machine has a quick coupler/pin grabber, measuring the tip radius is slightly different. With bucket attached to the coupler, you will need to measure the length from where the main pin goes through the stick to the tip of the teeth

HYDRAULIC THUMB
