You guys talking about the u joints on driveshaft that goes from tranny to front axle? Or ones on the rear axle ? I have an 05 model and driveshaft u joints are beginning to rattle. Guess I better get ready '

BC, thanks so much for pics and accurate measurements. Cheers. Terry

Pump upgrade Richard, that 'log lifter' on your machine must take most of the fun out of lifting those 80-90 lb chunks to splitting area?On a more serious note , how could I add this feature to my splitter? Explain how it work. Would I need another , separate valve and another cylinder? I have...

Border Collie, do you remember the size of the oil cooler lines you used on your installation ? 1/2, 5/8, etc. if I get bored someday, I may just install a cooler on mine. Did you say the cooler alone would have been enough, with out the fan? I am bad about overkill too.

Such a nice , polite, caring bunch of people on this forum. So refreshing in this world today.

Well, now we have some first hand experience. Does your 900 worksite have the optional utility valve? Or do you just unhook dump bed and use those ports? What model Wallenstein do you have? Thanks so much for chiming in. At least now I know it is possible to use rtv hydraulics to power a splitter.

Hyd pump upgrade Just to let all you guys know my decision? , I bought a new stand alone County Line 22T splitter yesterday from TSC. 899.00 , no tax, no shipping and no interest if paid in 12 months. Works like a charm. Has Kohler 3000 engine . Thanks to all for suggestions.

Richard , I am sure you are probably correct and I will probably abandon my plans. Thanks to all you guys for advice.

Hyd pump Wow!! What a set up . You are probably right. I was more or less trying to figure out a way to utilize my hydraulics for more than occasionally raising the dump bed! I will probably follow your duggestions. Biggest problem is I am 77 yrs old and lifting those chunks of logs gets old...

Hyd pump Thanks ,BC. Maybe someone with first hand experience with a venture such as I am contemplating will chime in with opinions . Stay safe .

I'm considering using oem hydraulics on my 05 rtv 900 to power a wood splitter and would like to upgrade, or replace, my hyd pump. 7-8 hom would be enough , I think. Does anyone know of a place that beefs up our little 5 gpm pump ? Thanks for any and all suggestions.should read 7-8 gpm, not hom!
