Do backyard tractors need grease?

[Tinhack]

I have about 40 as well. Milwaukee M18 grease gun with a lock n lube tip. It’s actually fun to grease my tractor!

Mine is yellow and black and came in a case. I like it because it's variable speed--Not just two.

Mess from excess grease is easy and cheap to clean up. New pins and bushings, not so much.
It helps I’m a heavy equipment operator. I have one neighbor who texts to ask if I have my gun handy a couple times a year, he brings over his ztr and beer.

I now describe it as "fun' also!
Prior to my 20V DeWalt and Lock-N-Lube, I considered it drudgery.

I have a few ol grease guns. One has a pointed nozzle. One is air operated pistol grip. Two lever guns and a hand pistol gun. I had a real good older pistol gun that was easy to operate, it was German, and a joy until I ran it over. I went to a local farm store and bought some Chinese one that is cheap and light, the spring is a ball buster. Live and learn. What ever you get, the best ones are the ones you will USE. Best investment for anyone is a real good grease gun

The Milwaukee has a dial on the side, you can adjust the grease output between 10 settings.

Don't forget that frontyard tractors need grease too.

I'm chuckling at the term backyard tractors. We used to refer to 20-30 year old full size TLB's on smallish properties as 'Backyard backhoes'. Blue tarp optional.

Ok. I guess the Milwaukee site is wrong.

I read this statement; "The tool’s 2-speed design offers users the ability to select between max pressure and max flow rate."

My Dewalt is variable speed through the trigger like a drill. There's no dial to fiddle with.

Am I the only one that actually enjoys greasing the tractor or backhoe using the good old lever style grease gun and get hands all greasy? No electric grease gun, no fancy lock n lube stuff. Just a regular grease gun. I do have a pneumatic one but don't really enjoy using it much.

3 or 4 pumps of grease gun often better than waiting 3 or 4 weeks for parts.
