Has anyone found a handy way to put grease on the tracks? Got tubes of Super Lube and just put some on my finger and put a dab on each of the track rails and moved the machine forward to do the next handful until it got all of them covered. Assume a grease gun is the easy way to go, don’t see myself on the ground in the middle of the winter every week or two doing this. Thought one of you might have found an ingenious way to do. ---

I’m still using the Yarbo grease. It’s in a small round container so getting the grease out is easy enough. I tip Yarbo up on his side and use an [acid brush](https://a.co/d/7r51VsD) to apply. There is ALWAYS some cleanup for me before applying. Not the easiest. I do have a tube of grease that sooner or later I’m use, so if someone comes up with a good approach, please share. ---

I’m using a toothbrush and Superlube. I apply about the size of a pea on the toothbrush, spread it over 3-4 indentations of the track. I do it until each of these indentations have been covered on the area where the wheels enter in contact. It takes me about 3-4 minutes total. It takes about 10-12 “peas” to cover it all. ---

I leaf blow and or hose out the debris from the tracks and then I use super lube in the tubes with a grease gun that has a rubber hose. I just apply a few squirts at the track wheels and along the length of the bottom in the middle. Then I move the core forward and do it all over again getting what was the top of the track. ---

I have been doing the same thing, blowing the dust out, then the garden hose, and finally when it dries I use either the cans of white grease or the WD40 grease (not normal wd40.) Works well and keeps the squeaking out. ---

It’s a robot right? It would be cool if you could just add a little oil (biodiesel?) to a resoivoir and have it drip inside the track at the prescribed rate. Let the robot maintain the robot. Let the robot maintain the robot. Let the… Sorry, it got out of hand! Tim ---

I’ve suggested this before too. Would definitely like to see an auto track greaser. ---

Has anyone tried using a large syringe to apply grease? ---

I bought super lube in a grease gun tube and use a grease gun with a hose. Makes quick work of it. I’m not sure if a syringe would easily push out high vacuum grease, but maybe something a little thinner. Definitely seems like a good idea too though, depending on the type of grease. ---

You can get syringes with a catheter tip on them, and they are cheap. Just putting it out there. Now to find a way to keep ther grass fron getting stuck to the grease!😃 ---

I have all of you beat. I place a giant vat of track grease out in a flower bed, then put a no-go around it. ---

Is it really every two weeks they want you to put grease on this thing? ---

It is recommended roughly every two weeks or when you hear a change in noise with tracks (pops and thumps, usually when turning). ---

I slide a 1x6 8’ long under the mower, then lift one end then the other using 4x4 block to raise it up so treads don’t touch ground. I then move the tracks slowly while i apply grease. ---

I bought a hydraulic lift off Amazon (see below) and place a board as a ramp for the Yarbo. Once on the platform I jack it up to easy working level, apply the grease to both sides, and reverse the process. I’ve taken to using chalk to mark the treads where I couldn’t apply grease because of the drive wheels, drive the Yarbo around a bit, and put it back up on the lift to complete the job. While I’ve had good success with this model there are dozens of similar products available. > **[Amazon.com: VEVOR Hydraulic Lift Table Cart, Orange, 50-Inch | 330 lbs Load...](https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Hydraulic-Capacity-Non-Slip-Material/dp/B0DZH9LV53)** > > Buy VEVOR Hydraulic Lift Table Cart, Orange, 50-Inch | 330 lbs Load Capacity, Manual Single Scissor Lift, Non-Slip Pad and 4 Wheels, Alloy Steel: Lift Tables - Amazon.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases NOTE: I choose this one because; a) it goes high enough to put things in/out of my F150’s tailgate, b) I’ve heard of Vevor and they typically get good reviews. I will mention the Yarbo is slightly wider than the platform so the treads hang 1~1 ½ inches off the edge. Not a problem or a risk in my experience, but you do need to steer it carefully when running up board onto the platform. [Next page](https://forum.yarbo.com/t/easy-way-to-apply-grease/3249.md?page=2)
