What is kubota factory grease?

[kenmac]

I use what ever I happen to pick up. I grease often

I ended up just greasing with the molly ep. There seemed to be so little grease in them in the first place I doubt I'll have an issue. (Wish I checked sooner) Why do you all like the red so much because it matches the tractor or for certain properties over others?

For an open ended system like pins in a loader, don't worry about compatibility as it is all forced out during the greasing operation AND when working. That is why you need to grease often with a good heavy grease that will stick to the pins. I use any EP grease that happens to be on sale which reminds me that I need to find some more. I am down to my last tube from the case I bought. $2 a tube is about the limit I will spend for FEL/backhoe grease as it ends up on the ground or on the loader arms from being squished out during operation.

Speaking of which whats the best way to clean up? Degreaser on a rag? Assuming powerwasher or horse will get water into joints. Sorry I know this is all trivial but its my first brand spankin new tractor so I got daddy issues right now hah.

Simple green on a rag.

Don't over think it. Its a Tractor not Fragile Electronics.

To keep my life as simple as possible, I use the same grease for everything that I own. ....i.e. Ford F-250 and Crown Vic and the Kubota or whatever else needs grease. The Valvoline Ford-Lincoln-Mercury Moly MultiPurpose tubes in just one grease gun works for me.

Lucas Red and Tacky is what many here swear by.

I havent had the luck that others have with it. It doesnt preform for me as well as the green Lubex particularly when it comes to water resistance. Not that the Lubex is that far superior purely from a lubricant perspective, but it is much cheaper, probably more than 1/2 as expensive when bought by the case. To me, more grease, is better grease (for many applications).

To put a finer point on it, as a rule I HATE irving products (having worked for them), I will buy their grease however, mostly due to cost/benefit.

As my Service Manager told me " Most of my Customers own Grease Guns but few of them use them.
