Well I am a retired mechanic and I hate(dislike really) greasing anything. My secret is out. But, I probably over grease almost everything I use, and I can grease most of my equipment without getting very dirty. And I change oil more frequently than specified. But I don't want to fix something that could be prevented with MAINTANANCE. Anymore I wear gloves, usually the latex ones, and I use blue shop paper towels that I bought at Fastenal. The paper towels are very heavy duty. Comes in a great big roll. Way better than those you get at auto parts stores. I am frugal to a point, but I believe in spending money where I get the most use out of it. With the shop towels I use them first to check oil and wipe my hands from other jobs, and so forth. Then I reuse them when I grease things. In fact sometimes I can reuse a blue towel several times, before I pitch it. That big roll cost $80 @ Fastenal, but is well worth it because of the reusable factor. As far as greasing, if you don't already have one, get a Lock-n-Lube coupler end for your gun hose. You get it in a kit which has adapters for *90 angles that you can't get the gun, and a adapter that goes down into recessed holes that are too narrow for the lock n lube coupler. Mark.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
