Product Description

Amulet PowerBrute Hydraulic Thumb | Model PB Series | Machine Size 1-50 Tons | For Excavators


DESCRIPTION

The Amulet PowerBrute Hydraulic Thumb Series (PB-1 to PB-8 / PBC variants) is a high-performance universal excavator attachment system designed for exceptional strength, precision, and versatility across 1 to 50+ ton machine classes. Built for demanding applications such as demolition, land clearing, rock handling, and material sorting, this hydraulic thumb delivers superior gripping power and operational control.

Engineered with a universal two-tine design and independent main pin system, the PowerBrute allows fast bucket changes without removing the thumb, reducing downtime and increasing productivity on job sites. Its high-strength alloy steel construction, heat-treated pins, and cushioned hydraulic cylinder ensure maximum durability and smooth performance under heavy loads.

With multiple model options from PB-1 through PB-8, operators can select the perfect match for their excavator size while maintaining consistent hydraulic efficiency. Compact storage, easy installation, and full quick-coupler compatibility make this system a reliable, low-maintenance solution for modern excavation operations.

Key Features

  • Universal 1–50 Ton Compatibility The Amulet PowerBrute Series is engineered to fit a wide range of excavators from 1 ton mini machines to 50+ ton heavy-duty excavators, providing unmatched flexibility for contractors managing mixed fleets across multiple job sites.
  • Complete PB & PBC Model Range With models spanning PB-1 to PB-8 and coupler-ready PBC variants, each unit is designed to match specific machine weight classes. This ensures optimal hydraulic balance, precision control, and maximum performance efficiency.
  • Independent Main Pin System The independent main pin design allows operators to change buckets and attachments without removing the hydraulic thumb. This significantly reduces downtime and improves workflow efficiency during continuous excavation operations.
  • Heavy-Duty Two-Tine Construction Built with a reinforced two-tine universal structure, the PowerBrute delivers exceptional gripping strength for rocks, logs, debris, and demolition materials. It ensures stable handling even under high-pressure lifting conditions.
  • Quick Coupler Integration Fully compatible with quick couplers and multiple bucket types, the PowerBrute eliminates compatibility issues and enables fast attachment changes, improving productivity and machine uptime on dynamic job sites.
  • High-Strength Alloy Steel Build Manufactured from premium high-strength alloy steel, the attachment provides long-lasting durability and resistance to extreme stress, ensuring reliable performance in harsh construction environments.
  • Heat-Treated Pin Durability Equipped with heat-treated hardened pins, the system resists bending, wear, and impact damage, extending service life and maintaining consistent structural integrity under heavy loads.
  • Cushioned Hydraulic Cylinder The integrated cushioned hydraulic cylinder system delivers smoother operation, reduced shock loads, and improved control during gripping and releasing cycles, enhancing precision and equipment longevity.
  • Hydraulic Storage Position When not in use, the thumb folds tightly against the dipper stick using hydraulic control, improving operator visibility and ensuring safer machine operation in standard digging conditions.
  • Low Maintenance Design Designed for efficiency, the PowerBrute Series features low-maintenance construction with grease points and durable components, reducing downtime and minimizing service requirements.
  • Enhanced Operator Visibility The open-back, narrow-body design improves cab visibility, allowing operators to work more accurately in tight or complex jobsite conditions while maintaining full control of the attachment.
  • Easy Installation System The attachment is engineered for quick and simple installation, reducing setup time and allowing fast deployment across different machines without complex modifications.
  • Wide Application Use Ideal for demolition, land clearing, rock handling, forestry, and material sorting, the PowerBrute Series adapts easily to multiple jobsite applications, maximizing machine utility.
  • Rental Fleet Ready Durability Built for high-frequency use, this hydraulic thumb is perfect for rental fleets and contractors, offering universal compatibility, rugged construction, and long-term reliability.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

Cole 12 MX Multiflex Planter | Model B46-664A / 0120103 | Width 13" | Size: One Row | 3PT Hitch Planter Attachment | Horsepower 25–45 HP | For Tractor

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it β€˜Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
