It's fine. The biggest thing is making sure you're doing it at the right interval and every now and again going and wiping off the big buildups. I really like my dewalt electric grease gun.

I use moly grease for my 4x4's wheel bearings, the reason I don't use that for my tractor is just cost. Lucas green is half the price of moly grease. Non-engine parts just don't need that kind of heat resistance.

Some furniture movers like these. Screw an appropriate sized piece of thick plywood to them and you have a cheap dolly for attachments. Made two now ourselves for the loaders bucket and our tiller.

Additive for the diesel fuel because we live in Minnesota.

And a set of assorted hitch pins off of Amazon because some of the circular ones that came with our tractor and attachments really sucked ass.

Sure thing! I used some u-bolts to go around the ROPS and out this bar (Nilight - 60005C-A 20Inch 126W... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WE47FVM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) on the front and then a pair of these (Nilight 2PCS 42W LED Pods Light... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V2VB347?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) rear facing. They can amber strobe when I am doing snow removal or be white spots when I put the backhoe on

It’s super easy, straight onto the battery, the switch and all comes as a kit. You’ll need to buy some male crimp connectors as the kit doesn’t come with them oddly enough, but the whole job took maybe 2-3 hrs including head scratching and a drive to the hardware store.

Not offended but there are lots of options and I don't know what your limitations are. The umbrella option didn't work or too heavy? If thats too heavy then going with a couple of clip on golf umbrella like this Might be the way to go.

I have a ton of dewalt batteries, what are you thoughts on that grease gun? https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCGG571M1-20V-Cordless-Grease/dp/B00FL2SOXW/

Yeah im already eyeing pallet forks. Lucky for me my neighbor has everything but the backhoe, so I probably wont buy anything I can borrow from him. I got this primarily for the backhoe.

I used this valve stem when I ripped one off, you can install it without fully removing the tire from the rim- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5QEE3J?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

One you replace the valve stem there's some good tips on here for getting it back on the bead

I also forgot to mention I puchaeed the oem switch for the cab as well.

I use an ATI edge on my bx and it works great, matches up with existing factory holes for the cutting edge.

And they are super simple to put in. Took all of 5 minutes maybe. They are direct bulb replacements. The link is just the ones I used but if search led 1073 bulbs there are tons to pick from.

I got this for my chainsaw. It was cheaper than the other options, though I did need to get larger u-bolts at Tractor Supply to fit my ROPS.

I’ve seen this on a few https://www.amazon.com/SawHaul-Universal-Chainsaw-Carrier-Tractors/dp/B07PGQNL5R I think it’s also a good place to store a shovel or two.

For more equipment I’ve seen guys build a box on a frame like this. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/countyline-carry-all

They'll all be dead in the morning

honestly it's 90% about changing it regularly, at least for the big dumb stuff like fel and backhoe. if you had to pick between cheap grease pumped in every 5 hours or nice grease every 10, go with the cheap.

I use this stuff https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07J1WV5SG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_bpgWFbJXEYMPD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

the big thing is the dewalt grease gun which makes it much easier.

pump it in regularly according to engine hours, regardless of whether you were running the loader (or whatever). if the engine hours roll over 10, everything attached gets regressed.

Agree with all of the above. I have a BH77 backhoe as well which has another ~17 or so grease points in addition to the loader and tractor. I got the electric Dewalt grease gun and it's been terrific. The nozzles pop on and off easily and it makes greasing a relatively painless experience. There's a lot of grease choices but I've been using Lucas x-tra.

Another protip would be to take all the shirts you don't wear anymore and start cutting them up right now for rags. When you go to service the tractor, which is basically every day or two that you're using it, have a cardboard box handy to toss rags / grease balls / etc.

I'm in a really dusty area so my air filter is constantly needing to get blown off.

Really read through the manual though and get to know your tractor. They're designed to be worked on so it's not really a pain to do most service tasks.
