Tractor Greases
Tractor grease is very similar to brake grease, but instead of a car's brakes, it's for your tractor. Because you use the same kind of equipment to plow and push a car that's already been pushed, you have to use the same kinds of equipment to grease your tractor. The problem with using regular grease on your engine is that it usually wears off after a while, leaving a sticky residue on the bearings and parts of the engine. This means that your tractor will have to be put back into operation, costing you more money in the long run.
The better option is to buy specialty grease. Grease designed for heavy-duty vehicles is made to withstand the rigors of the job at hand. In addition, the grease contains additives that resist damage from heat and corrosion. By heating up the grease before it is used on your engine, you can reduce the risk of it wearing off before its time. That means less maintenance and fewer trips to the repair shop.
Just like your car, you don't want to keep putting oil and gasoline into your tractor. If the engine starts to smell like garbage, or if the grease begins to collect in places where it shouldn't, you should change the oil immediately. You may also have to drain the oil and gas out of the tractor to prevent leaks. Using grease designed for heavy-duty vehicles will make your life easier, save you money, and help your equipment last longer.
