Quick question for you tractor experts. One of the things I’m learning with moving up to larger CAT II implements is that they are a little more tricky hooking up solo since I can’t budge them on my own. I just picked up a solid bush hog semi mount mower that pairs well with the tractor. The previous owner had it sitting outside and the shaft and coupler were dirty and not sliding well when we first got it back to the barn. I had just run myself out out of grease since I burned through a couple tubes fixing up the old hydraulic disc so we didn’t have any “extra” grease. I cleaned up the coupler and then hit the shaft sliding with some PB blaster and WD40. It was a pain to get hooked up but I think a lot of that was the that coupler and drive shaft (on the mower) need a good lubing. Any suggestions on what to use on the drive shaft and coupler to keep them lubed up and sliding on much easier? With the quick hitch on there and the increased weight of everything, the easier this damn thing goes on the better. Just wondering if you all have any suggestions on the best thing to use for both the coupler and shaft (and when I say shaft, I mean the the PTO shaft that slides and attaches to the tractor; the PTO drive on the tractor is lubed fine)...just not sure if I standard grease is fine or if any of you tractor pros have a better suggestion. Thanks
