5 Costly Tractor Failures Prevented by Regular Greasing

Overview

Mike and a 20-year dealership mechanic named Sam walk through five specific failure points caused by skipped greasing: loader pivot pins, steering knuckles and tie rods, clutch and brake pedals, PTO U-joints, and the cutter tail wheel, plus mower deck spindles as a bonus sixth. They name real consequences and rough repair costs, and briefly cover gearbox oil level. Best for newer tractor owners who want a practical pre-season checklist rather than a deep spec discussion. Note that Mike plugs his own branded grease gun mid-video.
