Have found myself alone this past year with many things falling to me that never have before. I was almost pulling my hair out w the Kubota instructions in their manual. Thank you for this easy, concise, clear explanation. Found ‘em all. Now, I need to figure out grease guns…we’ve always used a manual one. That was going to be one of my questions: WHEN DO YOU KNOW YOU’VE APPLIED ENOUGH GREASE TO A FITTING? Now to figure out changing the hydraulic fluid! Thanks again!!
Hi Jack.. I agree about your need to get a lock-Lube for your gun. And they are From NH. Can’t wait to see your new Tractor on your homestead. As always stay safe and always be kind. Go 603
I have the same grease gun and love it! It’s definitely a time saver. I have a lock-n-lube on the end of mine, it’s really nice that it holds tight to the fittings and releases much easier with a lever then yanking the end off the fittings. It also holds tight to the max pressure the Dewalt grease gun can make before going into relief. I’ve had fittings that were hard to get grease into that my manual pump Lincoln grease gun wouldn’t be able to get grease into that the Dewalt will.
James good evening it's in the 70s windy going to rain for few days may be 4 your grease is great I have seen them we have the Milwaukee platform go have the Milwaukee gun works good messy changing cartgauge but the beat pump ones buy a mile God Bless All PaK
Gotta say great purchase for everone with a tractor great gun just between 3 or 4 implaments you could have over 30 fittings...grease all those twice a week and welcome carpletunnel. Tyvm your vids are great keep up the good work😃
I couldn’t get myself to get an electric gun, portability would be awesome. I ended up getting a pneumatic. I have and highly recommend a lock n lube. Breaking off a zerk makes me uneasy 🥴
Great video for those of us new to tractors...or hopefully soon to be new tractor owners LOL. Keeping my fingers crossed on being able to get one this year. Sure have a lot of chores it could get used for right now LOL. I have a pneumatic grease gun that I've had for over a year now threw back into a box because I couldn't get the stupid thing to work...felt like it wasn't priming...turned out to be a bad coupler on the end of the hose. I replaced the coupler this evening and was messing around with it and it started working almost immediately...so that would be a quicker grease method, however that Dewalt 20V grease gun might just be the ticket so I don't have to run the air compressor and air line out anywhere. Are there grease points on the front axle on those BX tractors?
No grease points on the tractor besides the one under the deck for the pedal. The front axle pivot is lubed by the front axle fluid. The only other grease spot is on the u joints for PTO shafts, and all the ones on the mower deck.
@@TheMindfulHomestead Thank you sir for your information. Seems pretty easy to maintain really. A few (err a dozen or so) grease points on the loader doesn't take that much time to hit every use or 2 depending on how often you use the tractor. Course implements are another story too. Thanks again. Have a great weekend. Supposed to hit triple digit temps here in southern Idaho already, yuck...107-111 degrees this coming week.
I use Lucas Red N Tacky or Valvoline (Crimson Tacky). I’ve heard of the Lock-n-Lube and may pick one up in the future, but for now I am just fine with the snap on/off tip.
Like latex gloves or work gloves? If you get grease all over work gloves, then those gloves are worthless for anything but jobs where you are working with grease. Last thing I want to do is grab a shovel handle with gloves that have Red n Tacky all over them. 😉
@@TheMindfulHomestead you should have a special pair of grease gloves! I live in Vermont you make me want to bring you some.... get a pair of those rubber, slick gloves that you can just wipe off easy. Keep em with the lubricator machine you just used, bada bing bada boom, no more skin cancer! Love ya! 🤣❤️
