I was still typing when the question got answered...lol again. The solution to protecting the lines that MKTEF gave sounds like it would work purty good.
all the new loaders we sell to state of Indiana have auto lube on them and most of the new Terex end dumps.
systems are very reliable, just keep them full of grease and inspect you lube points once in a while to be sure they are geting grease. the install takes some time as you must route all the lube lines and watch out for pinch points that could damage them.
you can set the luber for how often you want it to cycle and how long the cycle runs. These setings affect how often you will need to refill the luber with grease.
now the down side......... once you set you luber up it pumps the same amount of grease eveytime it cycles, does not matter if you are working the machine hard or the machine is parked with the engine idleing.......I often see Indiana DOT machines with puddles of grease under them because they allow the loader to set and run so much.
hard to find that sweet stop between under greasing and over greasing.
Let me take a wild guess here Dirtman, You also sell Vogel?
