While I can appreciate that alot of the members have a much greater understanding about the properties of grease than I will ever have, ultimately I don't think the type of grease you use, as long as it is made by a reputable source, is nearly as important as actually keeping the equipment greased on a regular basis. My dad, a farmer, certainly didn't spend alot of time or money deciding what grease to buy; he bought whatever 5 gallon pail was on sale at Agway. But, growing up on the farm my Dad drilled into my head that you never use a piece of equipment without giving it the once over with the grease gun and you never start a tractor, truck or anything with a motor before you pull the dipstick and check the oil. Overkill? Maybe. But I can tell you I don't ever remember a piece of equipment failing at a lube point or an engine siezing for lack of oil. I left the farm almost 30 years ago but to this day I won't use a piece of my equipment w/o a grease and oil check.
