The pins are different sizes so they do need to be switched around. The picture from Titan shows that's correct configuration so I think pulling both pins and relocating like I show is the only way to do it.
Howdy, Sir. Conzer from Titan here, would you mind including that it's a Titan thumb in your description so I could potentially refer customers to your video if they ever need to burr out some holes!
Great vid! How exactly do you measure the bucket for this? Their website just says bottom of the bucket to the forks but where exactly on the bottom of the bucket? Inside bottom, inside top, topside inside, or by the hinge pin?
I wouldnt sell my husky 350 for any amount of money. Love that saw. Bought it brand new in 2003 and never done anything to it other than routine maintenance.
When I first got my place and for several years I processed and sold firewood using the 350. Replaced the jug and piston twice. First with cheap and it lasted a year then with husky brand and it’s been great since. Still use it👍
@@Man-Time I have cut down alot of trees and did alot of firewood with mine and had the muffler come loose once but I caught it. That's the only issue I ever had with it. I run aviation fuel and husky synthetic oil at 40:1. It still has over 140 psi of compression after all these years.
Thanks for the video. I just bought the 24" thumb for my Kioti. For $170 incl tax and shipping I couldn't pass it up. I may need help on the weld-up. You did a good job w/that stick welder. BTW you should get some chainsaw chaps. I got some after a friend cut his thigh by the knee.
I went over that in my head and made a gut call. For the time avoided grinding I think I made the right call. I usually run in the center pin location and find it acceptable with a better bucket resting position
I just bought 32 acres with 12 in woods I want to clean up,I believe a backhoe would be my best investment for this,what are your thoughts?Thank you in advance.
This is a tough one. There isn’t much I can’t do with this, a few chainsaws, and some chain. I do recommend it because it is a great multipurpose tool for me. I would also look at maybe a mini excavator. I don’t own one but from what I see they are pretty handy too. Welcome to Man Time!
Just bought one for my Ford. Can't wait to try it out!
Can't you take the top pin out and slide the whole assembly up instead of taking out the two pins each time?

You are correct. Pull the bottom pin and flip everything up. One pin is all you have to pull. I have the same thumb.
O think your top bracket went further up like a cylinder would do to pit the thumb in a open postion/ out of the way
I put the thumb up in its “store” position near the end of the vid. It tucks away nicely
YOU ARE CORRECT, MELISSA.

Yeah that's no problem. Thanks for a good product!

Idiotic hole placement, couldn't somebody figure out how to make storage and deployment easier? SMH, do u guys have any engineers?
all you need to do is pull bottom pin it will drop and grip arm will fold uo ..one pin only
I thought so too but the pins are different lengths and need to be switched

We move huge trees with our ford 555c backhoe all the time thing has tons of power might have to get us a thumb on my papas backhoe
The thumb is a great addition to the machine!
Are u in TN?
Nah TX. Glad the vids helped!

Carbide burr on a die grinder is the Devil's sliver maker.
Or shoddy craftsmanship fix all. Welcome to Man Time!
i make hedge rows for all my fall dinner friends, mr rabbit ms quail and miss pheasant

Welcome to Man Time!
Suppose to leave the middle bracket in thumb and move to top plate u just pull the one pin everytime no need to disassemble it
I think you should have notched the longer bracket and moved it down a bit more
I went over that in my head and made a gut call. For the time avoided grinding I think I made the right call. I usually run in the center pin location and find it acceptable with a better bucket resting position
dont forget to grease those pin a little

@@Man-Time Thanks your ambition on videotape is an inspiration.
You should look into the mulchers that connect to the back of a tractor, pto driven. They can chop up a whole forest in a day, stumps and all!
yep backhoe 4x4 then a skid steer.life stops when one goes down..lol
Looks like it's working good man
Yeah it’s still going strong today! Nothing bent or broke with pretty extensive use
Hey guy take another look @ your video @ 5.08 this crap falls on us all the time in GA.
My papa has the same backhoe and same truck
Sounds like a smart guy 👍
What is the length of that thumb?
I think it’s a 36” but you measure the bucket length from boom to tooth for the size you need
Man Time I measured for a 36” as well I was just curious as mine is a 555 very similar to yours and having a thumb looks like it works good on yours
It does. I’ve used it pretty extensively and it’s held up well
