It also covers grease gun basics, loading a grease cartridge, flexible hose tips, and why moly-fortified grease suits loader joints. Best for new B2601 owners unfamiliar with a full lubrication routine.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience maintaining his own Kubota B2601 on a 33-acre property.
The loader has six grease points on each side, and adding the skid steer quick attach brings the total to 14 grease points on the loader alone.
