5 minute backhoe thumb project

[davel8257]

2 King Kutter Grader Box blade knives
2 Grade 8 1/2" x 6" bolts, nuts and washers

Attach box blade knives with bolts, tighten, check for clearance (my Kioti KB2485 cylinder just clears the 1/2" bolt).

There's no adjustment. But, it works if you can finagle the bucket into position for a good grab.

Outside the box. I like it.

Awesome. Good move on the grade 8 bolts.

Best 5 minute project I've seen. Good thinking.

Looks like his slow moving vehicle reflective triangle bracket

Yep; SMV bracket. I need to remove the factory sign and either put it back there or on the ROPS.

Have you tried moving it closer to the bucket and moving the lower bolt one hole up to see how the teeth match up for like getting brush and limbs of a say a ditch? That is an awesome functional idea.
