The trenching bucket is fantastic. I've used it for hundreds of feet of trench so far. You can forget about leaving that thumb on when using it though, unless your trench is only go to be a few inches deep. Thumb is substantially wider than the trenching bucket, and needs to come off for most trenching work.
***UPDATE*** Now when you order a Quick Attach from RetailREMS, you can indicate if you have a BXpanded Thumb. RetailREMs will make sure the holes are the correct size for the bigger pin for these thumbs.
did you install this backwards? most QA devices allow for installing a new bucket by hooking the closer pin, your setup would only allow hooking the farther pin. The open U should face towards the operator
Nice video. I sure wish someone made these for Branson tractor backhoes too. I suppose a smart fellow could start making them and have a good business. But handing me a welder is like handing a monkey a football.

Interesting, I did the 100ft+ water line trench last summer and didn't have to take off the thumb. th-cam.com/video/VDrZbzlZOwM/w-d-xo.html

Not sure, it is working pretty well. Thanks for the info.

That would be cool
