What type of Grease?

What type of grease is everyone using? Do you just stick to manufacturers recommended or search around to find the cheapest?

No the best, grease is cheaper than metal.

What grease do you go for? What about Grease Guns?

Greasy type of grease. I use the Morris bucket of standard grease and never had an issue. There were some machines I had at one point that required something different, I forget what, but that is unusual. Of course for sliding parts like truck fifth wheels and telescopic loader masts, you need graphite based grease or some specialised stuff. Read the operator's manual for each machine to find whether they have any special requirements, just as you would for liquid lubricants.

The very best Blue Lithium. Loaders are done each time they are filled with diesel and implements every day.

Grease is very cheap.

We used Morris grease for years, then went onto Speedygrease.
Now we’ve gone back to Morris lube shuttle with adaptors in the Speedygrease guns. Better value for money in our opinion.

We also have a couple of special greases for certain applications where the manufacturer recommends it.

High temperature Red grease here for everything, I have found to my great cost that the cheaper Lithium grease goes solid over a very short period.
Dewalt 18v grease gun makes easy work

Atm mostly useing Exol HV2 LS it just happens to be blue seems good on hedgetrimmer pins bushes and loader similar, and bike trailer wheel bearings

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Jcb blue or Morris red depends where I get from, and I will get a battery grease gun 1 day

Local dealer to us is John Deere just there lithium grease has always been good for stuff round here. Bought a jcb recently came with a couple of jcb blue seems nice aswell

High temp Red on combine and any high speed bearing. Cheap Molly on anything like loaders, Tractor, rear links, implements.

no failures yet .

 

[Nithsdale]

Red on everything.

It’s not so much grease or guns. It’s more the frequency and the coupler. G couplers are just one which locks on and means greasing is a much cleaner task. Quick rub with a rag before and after means everything stays much cleaner And all the grease goes where it’s needed
