Depends where you want to be using it. I think the video showed those clip on ends attached to an ordinary grease gun as well. Prop shaft would be a 2 man job with this.
I remember quite a few years ago greasing up a combine harvester with a hand pump bucket grease gun . No fun at all.
Surely this would save a few quid on grease cartridges if you can use it in the yard when doing your general maintenance. I don't know how much cheaper it is to buy grease by the bucket compared to the same quantity in cartridges. But the farmer who had me greasing his combine harvester seemed convinced of the cost saving back then. ;)

G coupler ends.
Having to fill the bucket by hand would be a pain, plus likely to get air pockets in there.
The g coupler on a normal size grease bucket would be a better bet possibly.
@V8Druid had a link for a cheaper type of g coupler

As above. Any thoughts or observations?

love the grease scoop for filling the bucket :cool: ..... I buy my grease buckets and sticks from Smith & Allen ..... V good prices and the buckets're way cheaper than the sticks, by weight(y)......

usually buy from their website though ....
very easy to use sticks and always clean as a whistle when they come out the Allemite

I'd need twice the hose and triple length legs to get around the Hydrema's boom :LOL:

Thanks for the links. A little bit more reading there. I like the idea of the g coupler type ends.Do you still have to hold them on straight once connected or can you let go?

you could hang on them Con and it'd still be there (y) ..... they are VERY good :cool: ... lock it on and pump away :) .... that Ying tong one I bought is, as I have said elswhere, as good as, if not stronger than the originals :giggle: ... I won't be buying a.n.other 'G' coupler from Paddyland .. I've also asked them if they do the long series ones too ;)

I take it the benefit is how much grease you can carry around in one go? The price of that pedal pump is not much difference from the Dewalt battery grease gun which looks far less hassle? anyone tried those?
