@@leftyeh6495 If there is a standard test method at least 1 or more companies make test equipment for it. You open a catalog, a sales guy shows up with a demo unit and assuming it meets your validation verification accuracy repeatability reproducibility precision yadda yadda requirements you fork over a negotiated $$$$ with a non disclosure and maybe a maintenance contract, "free" training thrown in :) How much moisture is in your grease? there's the cheap $1000 unit and the standard $10,000 unit. Unless you're huge, outside test labs can afford to own some of this stuff and use it for multiple customers and applications. There's a standard approved cotton ball, standard approved tape, standard approved lead barn shot (for testing wire nuts who knew) .......a whole hidden world of business to business and standardized test activity. .02 PF's Rube Goldberg test setups are pretty intuitive.

Thanks, I really enjoyed this test! I have not used either of these brands, but I have seen the massive differences in greases. I used to have a work truck with a welder powered by a modified Leece-Neville alternator. The bearings went out in that after a couple years. I replaced them with aftermarket bearings and used Lucas green grease. That lasted about 5 years. The next bearings I put in with factory grease from the bearing maker. Got about 6 months. Put in another set, cleaned and repacked with Lucas green and that lasted more than 7 years!

This may be irrelevant to the grease conversation but I have had experience with RP 100 wt. used in babbitt bearings where the oil was displaced with extremely hot water. It is not known how long the condition was present (less than 2 hrs max) but the pump was run at high rpms with no visible damage to the bearing. That would not have been the case with regular oil we had been using. Even displaced there remained a film of protection on the surface of the bearing. I am not discounting any other brand just anecdotal experience with Royal Purple 100 wt. oil.

I'd have liked to see what the mixture could do. More hydrophobic and able to handle a bit higher temps, that sort of thing. No complaints though as you've been pumping out a lot of content lately.

[@brethatch2244]

I've found mixing greases and oils you don't gain the best of both worlds, but you do gain the worst of both worlds

[@daretodreamtofly3288]

I don't think I've ever seen you test RTV (liquid gasket makers) against each other like this. And I've seen it get used in many strange ways. To include adding a shock absorber like layer to a plate, as a oil resistant glue (no bolts, though what we where holding up was light and if it did fall it wasn't going to hurt anything but the thing bring held up.) And as a Farmers fix to a flat tire (need some tin screw\self drilling screws, although I've known a wood screw to be used a time or two)

[@waterloo123100]

I second this but international silicone is by far the best

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@juno_psyched]

@@ProjectFarm i agree a gasket maker showdown would be a sweet video, also great work on your videos, for such a small operation you do a better job than most big productions!

[@T1nCh0]

Your test are getting more and more professional by the video! This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this videos.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks and you are welcome!

[@AAP0000]

Made me think of grease gun comparison. Grease guns piss me off.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea! I tested the battery grease guns in the past but not the mechanical ones yet.

[@shawjoe71]

first comment!!!

[@ProjectFarm]

Very close! Glad you're here!

[@jsaentertaining8362]

I really like that you referenced the actual test you're using/emulating! I'd love to know in your future videos if you're referencing other standardized tests.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@libtrs838]

Why weren't the results compared to red n tacky? The title implies it's a comparison of synthetic vs Lucas red n tacky and that isn't what happened

[@999thenewman]

This is the greasiest video you've ever made.

[@ProjectFarm]

lol. Great point. I probably went through 50 gloves.

[@davezimmerman8627]

Fantastic video. I was looking for tests on the redline just a couple weeks ago. Couldn’t find anything to justify 20$. So I bought some Lucas red n tacky after seeing you video on it. But…… next purchase will be the Redline!!!!!! Thanks again !

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.

[@ccruz4580]

First

[@ProjectFarm]

Very close!

[@charliegoodson8247]

I don't know why but watching someone work with grease is soothing.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for watching!

[@boomaf1620]

Have you ever thought of devising a test to compare different brands of brake cleaner? I searched your channel but didn't find that test. I really appreciate the videos...well done! Cheers!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the video idea.

[@mattjanssen6563]

Another idea is a head to head comparison of bug zappers!! Many people such as myself will be in the market and looking for some great insight with the warm weather just around the corner! Great work!!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.

[@StephenBrewer89]

The amount of preparation that goes into your videos is on another level. Still will never forget years ago running across a video of yours watching thinking wow that was cool. Here I am looking foreword to all your new videos. Keep it up buddy!

[@ProjectFarm]

Wow, thank you, will do!

[@chrisengle2315]

Hey man I really really enjoy your content and I really enjoy the videos where you test different oils with the lubricity test, the cold flow test, and then you send them off to a lab and show us the ppm of the products.. but I notice you don't really have any videos doing that on different brands (super tech, oriley and autozone housebrands, valvoline etc.) and different types of transmission fluid (Mercon 4, Mercon 6, Type F, CVT Trans fluid, ect.) I would like to see this done with transmission fluid. And then at the end of it all you could do a competition like you had Amsoil vs Pennzoil in a showdown type of video. Love you content and Im a huge fan. Felt this was a good idea.

[@Headbanger427]

I've wanted to see the same with trans fluid.

[@mrfordman9999]

You know this is the kind of information that is not available anywhere on the market except for people's opinion back by nothing more than their own over-inflated ego. Here we have the complete opposite! This is the best info you can get anywhere online! Love it Todd! Keep up the outstanding work, but dont work too hard! You sound tired my friend. Dont forget to take time for yourself and your family!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks, will do!

[@soonerfan1675]

I haul a bass boat all over the state on a single axle trailer. Wheel bearing health is very important to me as well as other anglers I talk to. Many have started using Lucas Red & Tacky in their boat trailer bearings but I feel it is the wrong grease for this application. In my research, Red & Tacky is made for sliding surfaces against each other so adhesion is most important I still stick with the blue marine greases like Lucas Marine or Mystic JT-6. Both of these greases claim to have improved resistance to wash out. I would love to see a comparison of marine greases compared to automotive and Red & Tacky. Love the channel and watch it avidly.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.

[@jakedangerfield9262]

Any chance you’ve ever considered going on a podcast or any kind of interview? I think your fan base would love to get to know you better, see where you come up with your ideas, behind the scenes, etc. Thanks again for all your videos!

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@georgehofgren6123]

By far one of your Best comparisons. I don't know what took me so long to watch it.. Thank You 🇺🇸 😊 🙏

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@BODETHEKILLER]

Huge fan! I was just shopping on line for a power inverter for my car in case the power goes out in my house and thought that would be a great idea for you to test. Keep up the good work!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks, will do! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@jameymyers2356]

Remember my idea for using Woolwax made in USA for undercoating vehicles test. Keep doing great work. Stay healthy brother!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks, will do!

[@Astrothunderkat]

I switched from maxima to red line thanks to this video, you do great work.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for sharing.

[@ktwn6702]

As an ex-parts-salesmen. I always recommended royal purple over redline. CLEARLY I was wrong to do so, as I should have asked about the application before making a suggestion! Thanks once again!

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome!

[@m.g.540]

Great test, having previously rebuilt and repacked CV joint axle shafts on a German sports car, this test confirmed my choice of lubricant, thanks,

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for sharing.

[@theoutdoorsmissouri]

I use these videos as a buyers guide. Been watching them for years. Has there ever been a video on octane boosters? Like do they do anything? are they necessary ? Do they clean combustion chambers? Or add horse power/gas mileage? I think this channel is the most objective and I appreciate that. Thank you for your hard work!

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome! Thanks for the video idea.

[@Headbanger427]

Not sure about adding power but in boosters the advertising is decieving. It takes 10 octane POINTS to make 1 octane NUMBER. 93 octane + a 5 point booster makes 93.5 octane.

[@ad-venturer305]

I miss these projects. Love the tool reviews, but nice to your still doing this

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@RedThevet]

Found this video just browsing and it is one of the first ones ive seen on here with the topic/test previews. I like it! Bring it back 🤩

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@crzymac]

Great videos! I'll like to recommend a comparison between best battery-powered lawn motors. Also, a comparison between portable/handheld carpet cleaners. Thanks!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the video ideas.

[@kkauk5180]

I've got a good test for you, regular rubber v-belts vs cogged v-belts vs linked belts on zinc or alloy machinery pulleys. There's a lot of conflicting information in the vintage machinery communities regarding the two. Some swear that the link style belts will prematurely wear pulleys out, while the link belt fans say that they run quieter and with less vibration, some say the cogged v belts run quieter and truer than the other two. Would be interesting to see you apply your excellent testing methods to try and find out the truth! Especially with a long term test to check pulley wear. Love the channel, keep up the awesome work!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks, will do! Thanks for the video idea.

[@fluffy_aguirr3]

This channel is by far the best comparison channel with each video. Very helpful for me in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if you switch to tools to which coffee creamer is best for my morning coffee.

[@alexmaclean1]

I love the effort that goes into these videos. I'm not sure why I care, I'm just using it for lawn tractor for the wheels, could probably use crisco lol

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@digitalkov]

"We're Gonna Test That" ~~ should be a t-shirt! Love the channel!

I just commented in your last video about how it would be great to see more oil etc stuff again love it! They both seem very good always been a huge Red line fan

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@davidclapham1066]

Another great video, thank you. Test suggestion - best non sticky rust inhibitor (I have an old patterna motorcycle and currently coat lightly rusted areas with beeswax as it doesn't attract dirt etc).

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the video idea.

[@libtrs838]

Try CRC 3-36
