They are sooooo handy. I had a snap on grease gun when I was working as a diesel mechanic, but sold it. So glad when I got this m18 one back after I bought the tractor!
If your not pumping grease until ur arms are tired then you don’t need it. However if u own a tractor or any heavy equipment and service it how you are supposed to then it is well worth the money.
Nice Video Sir... I Have GOT TO Get Me A POWER Grease Gun!!! Also, my father was a tractor mechanic from the time he came home from WWII until the day he retired at 80+ (and then some). After my father passed away and my mom wanted to thin things out around the place... I headed for the garage and my dad's tools. The first tools I latched onto were my dad's torque wrenches, his assortment of off-set wrenches and tool that were unusual because he must have wanted/needed them on some tractor at one time or another. (From: Minnesota)
Thanks for the praise. And yes, I highly recommend the cordless grease gun. I've had air powered, air powered bucket, and regular grease guns, and nothing can touch a cordless grease gun in my opinion. And that's a great story about your dad's tools. I love hearing those stories, and seeing old, well used tool collections.
Nice video. I have a couple torque wrenches as well but never seen one of those little digital adapters. Interesting. Have a happy New Year Brandell, see ya next year lol.
J Lear I think you got a mirror for your tractor and I would like to know where you purchased the mirror so I could get one maybe you should do a video on the installation
I've done tons of research on tractors, I need a 30-40 horsepower tractor to maintain the property we just bought. I've narrowed it down to mahindra and kioti. Ive visited both dealers and was leaning toward mahindra till I started seeing an these mechanical issues folks seem to be having. However the kioti seems to be much less prone to mechanical problems. Have you had many issues? And from what you've experienced, which tractor is more reliable?
I've heard issues about mahindra, but also with Kioti (and every other brand out there, too). I can tell you two things, for sure. The first is that if you sit a Kioti and a comparable mahindra side by side, the build quality of the Kioti is immediately obvious and superior. If you're new to tractors (like I was), it might not be so obvious, but as you do more shopping and looking, you'll begin to notice those differences. The second is that you should buy a tractor based on the dealer. Many of the korean tractor manufacturers have a less-than-stellar dealer network (Kioti, LS, TYM, Yanmar, Branson, etc). By this, I mean they're not professional tractor dealers; they are typically rental houses, outdoor power equipment dealers, used car lots, used tractor and implement dealers, trailer dealers, etc. So the service and support after the sale can be a rough experience due to lack of training, ability, and technology. Regardless of what you want to buy, look at the dealer type, history, and likelihood of continuing the line. Dealer support is paramount, even if you are capable of doing all your own work like me, it doesn't help if you can't get parts. But, I can say that I love my Kioti, and it has done everything I could ask of it. It's worked hard, and hasn't failed, especially doing grapple and brush work. It really is a tremendous tractor.
I agree. Lots of good tools out there for reasonable money. I really like grey pneumatic, sunex, Carlyle from Napa, and even the new icon stuff from harbor freight seems decent.
Hello! I am coming over from Hamiltonville Farm's LIVE. I have subscribed and look forward to checking out your channel! Nice To Meet You!
Thanks so much! Hank and Gina have a great community, for sure!
New follower. Found you from Hanks channel. Great video.
Thanks for watching.
I love my DeWalt grease gun. My wife got me one for Christmas, I wasn't sure that I would really like it. Yet after using it, I LOVE it.

Great video Brandell 👍 lots of good information!
Thank you sir!
I've wondered about that powered grease gun. I just can't justify the expense.

I had only seen them in a few RUclips videos, but I am interested to try it out. You have a nice one, too.

I actually built the mirror bracket/cupholder myself. The mirror is a used Jeep YJ/TJ mirror. Maybe I will do a video when I do the RH side.
Hank sent me to your channel.

@@BigOrangeTractors thank you very much for your valuable feedback.
Tekton makes great tools for the money imho.

@@BigOrangeTractors you’re absolutely right! Looking forward to more videos from you. Just found your channel through Hamiltonville Farms.
