Sk1970 · 2020-04-23 22:17

cat hydraulic thumbs are most using pro plus 100% of bucket rotation or the pro 70% of bucket rotation. Pro plus is about 460lbs more. 48” bucket on 326

    Basically every HEX has a thumb around me and I’ve never seen a pro plus up here. We live on a rock big though. Have no idea on a big HEX why you would need it to follow the bucket all the way 100% . Way more pivots, linkage, pins - things to break and bend, wear out - well about 460 more lbs I guess
