It's a specialty grease, right? What does it do that normal grease doesn't?

 

Corn Head Grease is a carefully formulated

lithium 12-hydroxystearate grease with

oxidation, rust and corrosion inhibitors,

extreme pressure (EP) additives for antiwear

and heavy shock loading, and a special

polymer to control oil separation during

storage. The base oil used is a high viscosity

index lubricant which provides excellent

stability under various temperature

conditions.

 

Corn Head Grease has superior water

tolerance and resists water washout, exhibits

good high temperature capabilities and has

outstanding mechanical stability by retaining

its consistency in hard use.

 

Cold Temperature Performance: The high

quality base oils used provide excellent cold

temperature performance.

Reduced Oil Separation: The special polymers

reduce the oil separation tendency during

storage and inactivity.

 

E.P. Performance: The EP additives provide

excellent prevention of wear and the

capability to withstand heavy shock loading.

Resists Water Washout: The soap thickener

provides excellent resistance to water

washout.

 

Typical Application

Corn Head Grease is recommended where

the equipment manufacturer recommends:

Corn head grease is thinner as camaro said, type 0 as opposed to the common type 2.  Only available from John Deere.  It flows when warmed up.  People use it in gearboxes that leak gear oil or that are known to be prone to leak.  Type 00 is sometimes also used and is thinner yet but is too thin for a grease gun.

 

I don't know about corn hole grease, I bow to ccokeman's superior knowledge on that, lol.
