What happens here

Begin by greasing the various pivot points and moving parts on heavy equipment like skid steers and backhoes. For efficient and mess-free greasing, consider using a Milwaukee cordless grease gun equipped with a quick-release grease coupler. This coupler allows for easy attachment and detachment from grease zerks, preventing grease from leaking around the fitting. Apply marine-grade grease, which is ideal for winter conditions as it resists moisture and corrosion, or a high-quality all-purpose grease.

Goal: Properly lubricate all accessible pivot points on heavy equipment.

you're down. So, here's another tool that I'm going to recommend you guys put in your tool case. It's this thing right here. Let me see if I can find it. Go ahead and lock that on, Xander. Lock it on. Now, you locked it. Mhm. Now, go ahead and put grease. Watch how hard this thing stays locked on. Look at them push. That thing doesn't come off. That's pretty slick. If you guys don't have one of them, get one. I'll put a link to it below, but go ahead. Show them. And it just slides off. You even consider this. You're not running both. The reason I use a marine grade grease is specifically in the wintertime in that odd cycle where everything the snow is starting to melt and I have to go out and stack giant piles of snow up. What happens is all of the pivot points of machine are subjected to lots of water. This stuff has a higher stick point to it and it helps resist corrosion. And it's only at those times that I really like to make sure that I get this stuff in my equipment. The marine grade
