My loader manual says grease every 10 hours. I generally grease once a month.

As long as you clock in 10 hours per month, you're good.

Remember the bouncing across a field = loader work hours = Pin Wear. Those pins are under pressure as you drive and bounce around. There's no cushioning, so if it's metal on metal, there will be wear.

Lock and lube tip was a real game changer especially for the zerks in hard to reach places. I keep a grease rag near the grease gun to wipe off the zerks before greasing and to clean up if I get too enthusiastic.
A grease gun is a must if you own a tractor!
