Picked up a new tool today for Kubota maintenance!

Milwaukee M12 battery operated grease gun... (plus Lock-n-Lube coupler)

Made sense since I already use the M12 system for most of my hand held power tools, supposedly 5-7 tubes of grease on one battery. I'll use this with EP Moly grease for all the FEL loader pins and keep my manual one with multi-purpose bearing grease for u-joints and mower deck

I got the same gun and love it, minus the lnl. Makes quick work of greasing the tractor and zero turn.

LOLOLOL... battery-powered grease-guns reminds me of waay back in 1960's when we made fun of neighbors who had bought the latest in gizmos.... Electric-Can-Openers!
We thought that was the height of lazy/opulence. ROFL

I put the backhoe on last week to work on installing the thumb, and then left it on, thinking I won't need the tractor soon, and when I do I will need the backhoe. Well, we got almost 4" of snow last night, just enough to require me to scrape it, and I had leave at 4am this morning. So I had fun taking off the backhoe and putting on the blade and scraping the driveways late last night...

I've looked at the M18 gun to add to my kit. Hadn't seen any reviews, but if it's like yours could/should be a good choice.

I use a cheapie pneumatic now, and it's been great for years. If it ever gives up, I may look at Milwaukee again. I've gotten so used to pneumatic now, it might be a tough switch....

I have a manual I keep just in case....

I have the M18...makes greasing a breeze...and eliminates the excuse not to do it...

I have the M12 as well and use marine grease in that one for trailers, boats and outboards...

No way I ever grease with anything else any more...
