The woodsplitter is a Wallenstein 3pth unit that I sometimes run off the GC, but I made a mount for it to sit on its own. Then I can run it off the RTV. I have a worksite model with the auxiliary hydraulics, has a separate tank, filters and a cooler. Works like a charm. Doesn't get too hot even...

Thanks zoom - I had done just the opposite...fired herup and ran the hydro in all directions. Will try this tonight.

Thought I would post to the board to see if there is something I am not doing right. I have an aftermarket 3-point system and added-on hydraulic ports (gives me hydro ports front and rear). Don't need the plow now that winter is over so I moved the assembly from front to rear to begin using...

Two Guns - what part of the country are you in? I'm in central Illinois and wondering how much time I have to put up my new Martin House... Thanks, Davooda

LOVED purple martins as a kid at my grandparents home in southern Michigan, and I just purchased a house and pole. I could use some guidance as to best location and orientation (N/S/E/W facing). We have a 3-acre pie-shaped lot. House is on the flat high part, lot slopes to the lake and there...

Thanks all! I couldn't find the spec in my owners manual and my dealer isn't very good about returning phone calls. Davooda

Looked all over the web and couldn't find specs on lug nut torque for my 1140 so I thought I would ask the experts! Need to remove wheels to install Peanut's stick stoppers and wanted to know proper torque setting for when I put them back on. BTW - from the factory, some of the lug nuts were...

Trying to finish an install on an aftermarket hydraulic switch on my 1140 and need to find a lead that is hot when the key is turned on and unit is running and not powered when the key is turned off. Found a red lead with white stripe off the headlight/horn switch and thought it was hot...but...

I went with a system I found online at UTVHitchworks.com that is a dual use front and rear 3pt system which mounts on the 2' Class I hitch receiver. I bought the hydraulic control kit that extends full hydraulic control to both front and back outlets, so when I have the unit mounted on the...

I just had HD springs installed in the front struts of my new 1140 in advance of adding a snowplow. I retained the OEM springs in case anyone on this forum had need of them. Only 6 hours on the machine when they were removed. $20 for the pair plus USPS flat rate shipping box charge to the...

Will do Zoom - thanks for reminding me. Davooda

My stands are set and expecting a SW wind this Friday for the Illinois firearm opener. One stand is perfect for this wind, so I am hopeful of filling at least one tag Friday and using my new 1140 CPX to haul it out. I'm two miles off the road and it's a long way to drag a deer :myopinion: Got...

Anybody know if those mud flaps described in the post would fit an 1140 CPX? I am hearing from aftermarket attachment makers that the 1140 is "a 900 on the front and 1100 in the back" - so I am wondering if the same mud flaps would fit? Thanks, Davooda

texasjohn - I'm taking delivery of a 2011 RTV 1140 tomorrow and would enjoy knowing your source for the 2.5kW inverter, as this is something I could never do on my JD Gator. Was the wiring difficult? Also - did you need a 7" rise on the rear hitch for clearance in hauling a trailer? It sounds...
