EXCAVATOR ATTACHMENTS
FOR New Hampshire.
New Hampshire’s heavily forested landscape makes woodlot maintenance a useful starting point for attachment selection. A project may involve loosening individual stumps, collecting branches and positioning logs, each with different working geometry. Describe the trees that remain, access limits and typical material sizes before selecting an attachment.
Plan the removal and cleanup stages together.
Use this guide to compare tools for woodlot upkeep · stumps · log handling. The state context below explains the applications; your machine, material and required finish determine the final attachment. These are selection recommendations, not statewide sales rankings.

Will a manual thumb suit occasional log handling on a New Hampshire woodlot?
A manual thumb can suit intermittent handling when its fixed working positions match the bucket and material. Frequent repositioning may make a hydraulic option worth comparing. Start with log dimensions, expected handling frequency and bucket geometry, then confirm mounting clearance and machine capacity before ordering.
Choosing an excavator thumb →BEFORE YOU
INQUIRE.
- Provide typical stump diameter and representative log lengths.
- Distinguish standing trees from loose logs and previously cut stumps.
- Show remaining trees, access routes and rock content in site photos.
- For a thumb, include bucket width, tooth arrangement and stick measurements.
- Always provide machine make and model, coupler type and required pin-on measurements. See the measurement guide →
