Hi All! I'm a proud owner of a Jinma 284 Fel and Backhoe for a year now, ( Lovin It ) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Trying to find a Fel Grapple Thumb on the Net with little luck. Has anyone completed research or have any ideas?

I'm a little late but here is what one of our members put on his. I've seen it and it is a nice unit.

HarryGoodWrench,

Did he make it himself? Or, did he purchase it?

He purchased it off a guy on EBAY. Thte guys name was htatro or something like that. I have his e mail somewhere but where?
Top flight work that guy does. Looks like its computer flame cut. Maybe Bill (the guy that owns it) can give some more info.

Looks like the same grappler sold by Gearmore but may help in price comparison. http://www.preseeder.com/attachments/grapple.cfm

Hey Harry, Your correct.. The guys name is Tatro. I've given his name & E-Mail address in other posts on this website inquiring about Grapples. His E-mail is on my home PC & I'm in the middle of finishing off a new house & the home PC is packed away... I'll look here in my previous posts & see if I can find the info. The guy also makes a TOP flight stationary thumb for 6-8 foot backhoes. I think you saw that too while at the house? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Found it!:
Contact Andy at htatro@bwsys.net I'm sure he can help you. He's good at grapples, all kinds of grapples....AND Thumbs!!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I also purchased a thumb from hetro last year. It works lile a champ when picking up limbs and debris. Here is a pic. I would certainly recommend him!
