lol ill give that cylinder for that grab a few working hours still its bent.. if u where to curl the bucket by mistake while holding something u would just bend the fuck out of it .
I think that the way you have the thumb setup to where the cylinder can move “over center” (as we call it on backhoe booms), is an excellent idea. This is the first thumb that I have seen that uses this method. I'm going to build my own hydraulic thumb, I'm just putting a plan together right now, and if I need some extra travel out of my hydraulic cylinder I will use this idea.

@dirtdiggerlee With this configuration, the thumb never interferes when not needed ..
I like to wear things that are hand;)
