Accomplish any excavating and material handling job better and faster with our thumb made for John Deere backhoes!

Operating a John Deere backhoe takes precision and dexterity. When equipped with a thumb attachment, not only does it become easier to maneuver, it improves your handling capacity. Hydraulic thumbs for backhoes will simplify the tasks of picking, holding, and moving bulky materials like pieces of concrete, rocks, debris, and trunks, and placing them precisely. When attached to a bucket, a hydraulic thumb provides an even pressure throughout the entire cylinder range. Gentec Equipment’s thumbs can reach a 130-degree rotation, which makes it simpler for the backhoe to move in smaller spaces. Our thumb attachments have 2 to 4 fingers made with solid high-strength steel plates, along with serrated edges. Finally, each thumb is fully gusseted for exceptional strength. Our inventory regroups multiple sizes of thumb attachments for backhoes (8” to 32” width and 24” to 72” length).

Gentec Equipment has been a hydraulic thumb manufacturer and distributor since 2000. We specialize in the manufacturing, sale, distribution, and service of attachments and support equipment for the civil engineering, landscaping, construction and forestry areas everywhere in Canada and the United States.

Easy to install, our thumbs fit on all models of old and new John Deere backhoes:
