I went through this a few years ago. After much reading on here and larger construction and farming sites, I settled on the newer multipurpose Polyurea grease that is shear stable for my 'just one grease' solution. It's the most compatible grease listed on the chart above, and has been proven in use by many who depend on equipment for a living. Both JD and Kubota sell it so it's easy to find. In fact, you'll find quite a few comments that JD and Kubota dealers now sell more of this than all other greases combined. I wasn't thrilled with the blue color of the Kubota grease, but now that I've used it I like how easy it is to see.

What痴 the second favorite that痴 more readily available?

I still think the Kubota or JD multipurpose shear stable grease is a good solution.

If I did not mind "standard" grease, and I was starting from scratch (no lubrication equipment), I would get the Lube Shuttle gun and their GP grease. At least you will not end up with an oily mess dripping from the plunger rod. Their grease is just ok, which is why I went with a bulk pneumatic system and the Amsoil grease.

Mystik JT-6 high temp (red) is above average, and is usually easy to find. I am cautious with Polyurea grease, as the shear stable polyurea is very compatible with other greases, but the standard polyurea is not, and its not always obvious which one you are looking at.

Online is usually best for pricing, especially if you are getting a case or 2. Just become a preferred customer for 6 months (15$), it will save you about 25% off the retail price.

If you want to "try" a tube, looks like Ames, Carquest in Rockport, Advance in Waldoboro and NAPA all carry some amsoil products. Call first and confirm if you are driving out of your way, I have seen some "partial" inventories at retail stores.

:thumbsup:Good tip I go to Rockland once in awhile, yeah I want to try a tube before jump in waste deep.

Sign up as a Preferred Customer, you get discounts and they have free shipping promo痴.

You think with just using half dozen tubes would be worth it?

I just watched a home stead video and the guy is saying to store tube with snap off cap up so the grease settles to other end and wont trap air, the guy said then you wont have air problem when changing grease tube, anyone else hear that?

I buy engine oil as well. But the convenience of delivery is worth it.

That doesn't make sense to me. The pull tab end is the end that goes towards the pump. That's the side you don't want the air to go to. I guess if your grease gun could accept the tubes the other way around it would make sense.

Gee wiz did I get that backwards, now I have to see if I can find that video again and do some double checking.........

My grease doesn't melt and settle in the tube anyway. If it melted and moved that easily it wouldn't stay in place on hot machinery very long.
