Any kind of heavy duty all purpose grease should be fine!

I’ve been using AirTec Li400 from AET Systems for the last year.

I use the Lucas green heavy duty polyurea grease. It’s a few bucks more per tube, but really holds in place without washing out.

The grease type will vary by what it's lubricating. If you are lubrication sleeve bearings for a sliding surface like loader pivots the above suggestions are good and if the grease has molybdenum disulfide in it that's even better - or you can add it. If lubricating a roller or ball bearing you do not want molybdenum disulfide in your grease as it makes the grease too slick and the bearings can slide instead of rotate.

Not trying to be obtuse about a grease type but merely giving my take on things. In some specific instances, there can be lubricants recommended for the needs of movable joint or bearing of some sort. If there are due to high pressure or speed or other extenuating circumstance, go with what is recommended by the OEM.
In the case of a typical tractor, any grease is preferable to no grease. I have personally witnessed several failed bearing, movable joints or similar due to lack of lubrication but none due to the wrong type of grease. My experience runs to commercial construction equipment mostly but I am pretty sure the same applies to almost all tractors. Get whatever grease is handy, cheap and plentiful. Use it often and if in doubt, a few extra pumps of grease usually isn't a bad thing.
