A control system and method of using a control system for a thumb on an excavator allows the thumb to follow a workpiece held in a bucket when the bucket moves. The thumb control circuit is activated by the press of a button and thereafter maintains a constant reduced close fluid pressure of the extend port of the thumb cylinder until the open control is actuated.
