Woods Brush Hog Gear Oil

[Buckchaser]

Can anyone let me know which gear oil is best for an older Woods Brush Hog and also for a rear tine King Kutter tiller ? Thanks for your help.

Cotton picker spindle grease is best

The manual for my 22 year old Woods BrushBull 60 calls for 80 or 90 wt, GL 4 or GL 5 gear oil in the gearbox.

OK. Thanks All. I have 80-90 wt. I will use that.

OK. Thanks All. I have 80-90 wt. I will use that.

Should make sure it's also a GL4 or GL5. Those grades can handle higher pressures and resist shear better than lower grades.

Ok, so did you really need to call him "Cotton Picker?"

That’s what it says on the bottle!

I use "Corn Head" or grease 0 it is all that I use in all my gear boxes old or new. An since most gear boxes do not have a drain so you can change/flush the lubricant for the most part it is a fill and forget deal unless there is a major failure.

Don't know about no corn picker cotton heads but down here we use full synthetic 75-145. Comes in a new limp squeeze tube now.

80-90 GL5 is what I use.
Ain’t never seen any cotton picker grease in a store around here but no one grows cotton around here either.
