First time greasing my brand new 2019 John Deere 17G Excavator. This is so important to do on these and any other machines with grease points. Just a little run through with the machine too on how to operate it. Enjoy my video!

Lock and Lube tip seems to allow me less trouble get released from points. I really like the electric gun as my hands are strong enough for manual. I do love the red grease it reminds me of lip gloss

100% best invention ever. I have it now. Thanks for watching!

Unscrew the tip of your grease hose a little and it won't clamp down on the zerk so tight.

That is a great tip. Since this video I got a LockNLube Grease Coupler and it works great. Easy on and off. I learned something new too, had no idea the nipple was called a Zerk. Had to look that up. Thanks for watching!

Morning, I'm looking at buying one of these. Any regrets or things that you need to watch for? Thanks Mark @ Mannisto Cay. 👍😊🌴

Hey Mark, thanks for watching. 17G is a great machine but like anything, you but and then wish you got bigger lol. I have sold it since, went to a tractor, then a skid steer than other skid steer which I haven't posted a video about yet. When I get another excavator in the future, I would like at least a 3 ton then.

Very nice video Mike, just looked at a 17G today and thought I wondered where's the lever for the tracks was.

Picked up a JD 26g a week ago, and the dewalt grease gun this evening. Had the same problem getting the hose off the grease fitting. I missed 1 grease point that you showed. Thanks for the video!

I would of loved to get a 26 or 35G but it was out of budget. Awesome that my video was able to help you. Thanks for watching!

I actually sold this machine since this video. I didn't get around to towing it as I stayed on my property. You would be good with a 16 foot or longer flat bed. Hope that helps.

Thanks for watching. Yes, it frickin' bites really hard lol. It's new and needs to be worked in. Same with the grease nipples on the machine.

Great job Mike is there a grease zerk in the middle under the cab ? Track tensioners

@MBGAdventures 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Donald. There probably is but I think that is only for if you are taking off or putting the track back on. Hmm

@BNUTTALL1983 3 жыл бұрын

What I have been told about the tensioner is to not grease them. They are for tensioning only during install or a reinstall after having a track off.

Is there a certain grease these machines require?

@MBGAdventures 2 жыл бұрын

I would say a heavy equipment one. If you are not sure, I would ask your dealer or look at your manual for verification for what grade. Thanks Chris.

Mike,I am in the process of making a purchase on a small mini excavator.I have visited John Deere, Kubota,and most recently Case. They all appear to have the same qualities. Question, does your machine have enough muscle to pull a toothed 18 inch bucket? Did you search other dealers prior to making your purchase? I will visit my local Yanmar dealer next friday.Anyway,I enjoyed the video.BTW,I suspect that the 17G will wind up in my yard.Thanks, Ken

@MBGAdventures 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Ken, This 17G has been great so far. Did you see my video demoing a wood shed with it? It is in my shop series videos. Yes, this machine has lots of muscle to pull the tooth bucket. I am still learning with these mine Ex's. I learned that it's best to have the blade down behind the machine where you are digging for maximum power digging. The Deere 30 inch grading bucket with blade on it works like a champ too. The motor is a Yanmar. I stand behind John Deere as I have stand on mowers too. Let me know what you get. Thanks for watching!

@dirtynewschannel 4 жыл бұрын

Put teeth on that bucket! You can thank me later. I switch the controls also.

@MBGAdventures 4 жыл бұрын

If you watched the whole video you will see that I have another bucket with teeth on it :) This one on the machine is the 30 inch grading bucket and I have a 18 inch 4 tooth bucket. I will be getting a smaller trenching bucket too. Yeah, the deere controls are ok but feel awkward. Thanks Jim!
