You can up the pressure on the thumb. I have the U17 and an Amulet thumb. The thumb says to set to a particular pressure, I forget what it is, but when the hydraulic shop installed the plumbing for mine the pressure was 2000lbs and I told them to leave it there. I cut trees down and use the U17 to load the cut up trunks into the dump trailer and it does a great job, I never have to keep applying pressure on the foot control when picking something up.
Ever use it to remove tree stumps ? Thinking bout renting one at my Home Depot for removing some stumps .
