Kuboto specifies EP (extreme preasure) grease for the 853 loader. Is it OK to use this grease for all grease points on the tractor or other implements for that matter?

Dusty.... I just couldn't resist....if you say it is important to wipe off the excess grease because it will attract dirt.... I believe you.Dusty said:The most important thing is to pick one brand and stay with it. Not as critical on fittings of the loader, but things such as mower deck spindles don't like mixing different brands of grease. With pivot points, it isn't the type of grease that you use that is that important, but to grease them often. A poor quality grease that is applied often is still better than a high quality grease that is applied infrequently. This is one of those cases where more is better. One thing to always do is to wipe up the excess grease, because it will attract dirt, and that dirt can and will migrate into the pivot if you don't keep after it. Dusty
