Frequency of greasing a MMM for BX2380

[corl]

I have a new BX2380 and was reading the manual where it stated that you should grease the deck mower daily. I have a F2100 and the manual says to grease the deck every 50 hrs. What changed? and how often you grease your mower deck and drive shaft?

Well, I do the spindles two or three times a season (May through October) and the driveshaft only if I have to remove the mower, maybe once or perhaps twice a season. I change the engine oil, filter, and air filter yearly (about 75 hours use) even though the book says it can go 200 hrs between changes. I guess that's overkill...

I grease the spindles, wheels, idler, king pin every 10h and the universals at 20h.
I checked my manual and found conflicting info on grease intervals, sometimes listed as daily and other times 10h. I suspect Kubota equates “daily” with a full days operation.

That's more frequently than I was planning to grease it, fortunately this cordless grease gun makes quick work of it.

I recently bought a DeWalt grease gun and a LockNLube tip. I am really liking the LockNLube!

I got one of these several years ago...

IR 5190.



I grease my deck every 25 hours of use.

I grease it whenever I think to do it. I'm sure it's way more than necessary, but a squirt a day keeps the bad wear at bay.

I give each spindle one pump of grease after each mowing which is about two hours. Probably more than is needed but it can’t hurt.

I have greased the one on my BX2200 about twice a year for the last 18 years while cutting 5 acres a week in a long growing season in the Deep South. I have worn out a ton of blades and guide wheels but no other issues with mower. Still have original bearings and belts.
