Stick Stoppers Installed

I got mine from Peanut and he even threw in a couple of METRIC bolts at no extra cost!:yum: But then he also told me I mounted my bed rails inside out. All I know is both have held up for me just fine and I have hauled a lot of wood using them.
 
i know the paint isn't that stronge but did you manage to dent any of it? you still got the rails mounted the same way? i never thought they would work in that direction but i guess they will huh?thanks to pinnacls info i'm now going with stainless steel bolts and nuts no more regular stuff.it's funny because i make this stuff for utv's yet my own utv is missing a stickstopper that i ripped off at the spillway. and i have yet to make any bumpers for it. now when i had my hpx i made bumpers and stuff for it but not the rhino.
 
I have them mounted that way so the wood slides out without hanging up on the attachment brackets. I back up to the skid steer and a bed full slides right into the bucket for easy lifting and stacking. I just raise it up to the level I want.
 
sounds like a plan to me. i need to make me a bigger log splitter right now i have about 14 or 15 truckloads of wood split but it's rough on me so i wanna try to make a splitter with a cross so i can split the wood in 4 instead of 2. i also wanna make the ram bigger so i can split about 3 logs at a time. i made a nice deal with a tree cutting company .i let them use my double axle trailer and weld stuff for them if they break it and in return i get all the wood i want.right now they are cutting a bunch of oak/pecan and hackberry. so now instead of havin to hunt down fallin trees on people property i just sit back and it gets delivered to me free of charge. i'll post a pic or two of the wood later today i have to go to the store the wife wants a shrimp jambalya for supper.
 
Hey Peanut.....

You must have one of them wood burning central air conditioners....wouldn't think you'd have much need for a wood burning stove in your neck of the woods.

Kanook
 
no it's not really that it's real cold but it's just me and the wife and we spend most of the time in the living room where the fireplace is at.i keep the central heater off and just burn the fireplace for heat. the wood is free so i figured it's free to heat the house in the winter.
 
Peanut...I've got the answer!!

Called my Kubota dealer to find out if the A shaped front end support which the plastic shields attach to are the same on the RTV 900 and 1140.

THEY ARE THE SAME PART NUMBER:clap:

Further questions regarding other dimensions which might come into play such as ground height, turning radius, etc all led to the same answer...they are the same as far as is known ,.

I was talking to their mechanic who had the parts manuals open in front of him for both the 900 and 1140.

So, I am confident that stick stoppers which would attach to the 900 would equally fit the 1140.
 
Would you not think many of the same components are used on the 900, 1100, 1140 to save re engineering costs ? The cab, length of frame, engine components for more hp may be the majority of differences.
 
Yep, Agent Blue, one might think there are lots of common parts...even assume it...but you know what assuming does....on occasion makes an a** out of U and me...so, before cutting metal, makes sense to get verification from a mechanic with the part numbers as the best possible verification.:myopinion:
 
It's a pretty safe assumptiom. In the current production world many standards have to be achieved and engineering costs certainly assist with the retail value being assigned. What value would it achieve to have different suspension pieces and many other bolt on parts for basically a biscayne vs the impala ? It's not like one is a 1/4 ton and the other a 1/2 ton unit. The 1100 has a few more hp due to the fact of the heavy cab. Driving four wheels in a soft earth situation takes more hp with the added weight. It comes down to the basic open air or the deluxe enclosed temperature / noise controlled atmosphere. The dealers would have to stock many additional parts which for the same basic machine would be costly.
My friend optioned out a new diesel truck... a heavy 3/4 vs a 1 ton. After getting the specs including frame thickness, transmission, rear axle, body , radiator, coolers, ( and the list goes on........ the only difference for the price difference was the spring package. They can't completly recertify a truck with all new different components without massive costs and tests.
So... you be the skeptic, I will use common sense.
 
my 3/4 ton dodge has a higher gear ration and a longer rear axle than my buddys dodge 1 ton. the front end is a bit beafier to. the cab/frame and engine is all the same though.most things stay the same they just change the parts that need to be changed to help out with the extra weight the truck will haul.plus his is a manual and mines is an automatic.we go down the freeway and at 70 mph he is reving up to 2400rpm's and mine is barely hitting 2000 rpms.so basicly the same truck just different drive trains. mine has the heavy duty springs just like his . i have the goosneck ball in the bed and do alot of heavy hauling.at fist i wanted to find a old dually so i could swap the bed and the rear end and if possible the tranny but after seeing how i get about 150/175 miles more to the tank i suddenly dropped the idea of swapping them out.so now i'm just upgradeing the fuel system and going with bigger injectors after that i wanna drop a bigger turbo in it.
