Might be a silly question but how do you know that the new Claas Auto greasing system is working?

I'm with you on this, it certainly would be counter productive if it's not greasing when it should, mind you anyone I talk to with auto greasers absolutely love them and don't seem to have issues

Always wondered if there is a provision for unequal pressure required between different grease points. Also when greasing with a hand gun one point gets 3 shots and the next gets 10 shots. How does auto grease deal with those differences?

There is so little to grease on a lexion. I am wondering why a person would spend the money for it and then have the worry if it was working right. I saw a Lexion last fall that burn up the side of the machine because the auto greaser did not grease the bearing.

My list of worries is dreasing by my declining fussiness level as I get older!
these days when I turn the key, do you?
But I still turn the key.
I don't really know what all happens to the fuel system on a diesel engine

But I still turn the key.
Often wondered that as well, then think, piss on it, whatever happens happens, hope for the best, put a little trust and faith in the people supplying this equipment.

It also has essentially a flow meter as part of the monitoring. You can also initiate a manual greasing in cebis

Greasing and blowing off the combine each day gives me the opportunity to visually check the machine for trouble. It is probably more important with a older machine. I also like to feel the bearings for heat.

Ever use one of those heat detecting guns?
I've heard they work well but have never used one.

I use a heat gun all the time, very handy tool. I check bearing temps, exhaust manifold temps to troubleshoot,gearboxes,even grain samples. The price has really come down on them in the last few years.

Just because a little icon says it's greasing on the monitor doesn't mean it is. Glad to hear there are failsafe's but it is bound to give trouble eventually. Certainly no replacement for opening up the shields and looking things over while you grease, as noted by SouthernSK.
There isn't much for daily greasing, is there?

No crazy Claas shields that need a wrench either...I didn't know CIH didn't offer an auto greaser.

SWMan the only daily fittings are the rotor bearings. The rest are 50 or more hour fittings.

Easy then. Seems like we get a rain delay at least every 50 hrs....
Thanks for the answer.

If they run injectors that is how you set different measurements for different points...you can change the stroke length...not sure what provision on the claas system has for this?
OM construction gear anytime I got out I use to mark the clear Lincoln tank then check a bit later to see if it's gone down...with most grease points being 50 hours or greater these days, if you checked the canister daily you should pick up a faulty system before it does damage.
