Abstract: A detachable thumb assembly for a construction equipment machine includes a mounting bracket for attaching the thumb assembly to a digging apparatus of the machine, a thumb pivotally connected on the mounting bracket, a thumb cylinder including a cylinder body connected to the mounting bracket and a cylinder rod which extends from a front end of the cylinder body and which is connected to the thumb. The body of the thumb cylinder is pivotally connected to the mounting bracket at a connection portion of the body which is distinct from a body back end portion.

Abstract: A construction equipment machine includes an operator station equipped with a driver seat which is rotatable around a vertical axis at least from a first operating position to a second operating position through an intermediate position, wherein the machine includes at least a first hand controller which the operator may use at least for some operations and at least in one position of the seat for operating a hydraulic implement. When the seat moves between the first position up to at least the intermediate position, the first hand controller is in a first configuration with respect the seat so as to be in a manipulatable position with respect to the seat, and, when the seat is in its second position, the controller is shifted to a second configuration where it is displaced to a non manipulatable position with respect to the seat.
