  1. Call for a free, short meeting about your machine and what you need it to do.
  2. Have the make, model and last 8 digits of the serial ready, so we can identify the factory configuration.
  3. We quote a kit for your machine.
  4. Our fabricator sizes, lays out and fits the thumb on the stick.
  5. If it needs hydraulics, we do a neat, clean, dry installation and set the right pump pressure on the auxiliary circuit.

  7. A finished thumb, ready for the job.
