[QUOTE="melli, post: 62033, member: 7164"] Yeah, you nailed it on the head. Their thumb is suited for that. If the ram pivot point is too far out, I'd suspect one would lose range on thumb. As far as force, I've never been left wanting. The bucket is where you want the force. I notice on my setup, the bucket can overpower the thumb...a design feature I suspect. I probably shouldn't be using thumb/bucket to cut timber, but I can snap 6" logs...when I am too lazy to get out of the machine. If some big trees are about, I use them to snap logs in half...into bite size pieces...lol But you know, maybe their design could snap logs better than mine.... [/QUOTE]
