Got my bx2200 last night --tools to have?

I am not sure where I read the issue about the grease, I think it was in "Oil and Lubricants" I try to stay clear of that section best I can, but once in a while I see something I wish to hear or learn more about there.
It had to do with the intended use of the implement. Mostly like the deck being high RPM, therfere the moly base is more than enough to sustain the intended use for this application.
When it comes to the BH and Loader, the pressures for this type of application play more of a critical part than high RPM, it requires more shear strength than moly base can offer. I do not have the owners manual near by, but you will notice the recommened grease for these to applications is different. Thats the reason in layman terms.
I also recommend you look around for the 5 gallon jugs previous mentioned, the price can vary allot, I found a place on line that had them for 24.00 with spout. It was a desert offroad place in arizona. This seemed to be a fair price.
Additionally, always pay particular attention to all hydrolic fittings. I wipe clean after and before attaching. Dirt can lead to very long days in the shop should it become inadvertently introduced to the system. Granted there is a screen, but it should be your last line of defense.

Thanks Tollster, I found a nice 5 gallon (yellow) diesel fuel jug with spout at Home depot. I'm going to go back and get one more.

I've got alot to learn about the hydraulic fittings so thanks for those tips as well. I'll be pulling the loader off here as soon as the Woods hoe shows up so I can install it. That tip will come in handy. I've also been careful so far to wash her after every use so those hoses and fittings will stay as clean as I can keep them.
