Progressive Link Thumbs

upnover ยท 2009-10-04 19:37

Just wondering if anyone has converted a direct link thumb to a progressive link and if so was it just adding a longer pin and fabricate a couple of links? Seems to me it would make the thumb much more usefull with the full range of motion.

    Haven't converted one, but that is the basic idea. We have a PSM set up progressive thumb and buckets. Here are a couple of links for you for PSM and CWS who is on your side of the border. http://www.psmcorp.com/products/thumbs/S2PP_PL.cfm http://www.cwsindustries.com/products/backhoe-hydraulic-progressive-link-thumbs.aspx
