Yes, you can use the same grease. For all loader and /or hoe pivot points, just grease and grease often. My experience shows that of all the things on compacts that wear the most, it is the realtively small size of the many pivot joints on hoes and loaders. I grease my loader daily if I have operated it for even a few hours. 3 squirts is about right for each joint on my tractor. I use the grease that comes from the manufactuer. Its quite inexpensive, pretty in color and slick as sn*^, you know! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
