  Single production of vector-like top partners is becoming a major focus of
new searches, as the increasing mass limits on vector-like quarks obtained by
the ATLAS and CMS collaborations are such that single production is becoming
competitive with respect to pair production. Typically searches focus on decays
containing leptons in the final state in order to have less background from the
Standard Model processes. However the current centre of mass energies available
in the latest LHC runs limit the searches to low masses. Fully hadronic final
states may be an alternative option for discovery, as they allow a larger
number of signal events if backgrounds can be kept under control. We study the
fully hadronic decay of a singly produced vector-like top partner and we show a
strategy to extract the signal over the background, considering as a benchmark
the 20 fb^-1 of data collected at 8 TeV with the latest run of the LHC.
