procat non greasable bearings

[uk gardening]

Has anyone had to replace these and at what hours did they start making noises ?
Any idea what these cost to replace. Surely greasable spindles are a better choice. No noise but always in the back of my mind since you cant bloody grease them :-(

I don't have a Procat but do run the grease-less spindles and front wheels on the Toro GS. I'm in the Third season of mowing ( 500hrs ) and have never had an issue. The Toro has a 5 yr 1200 hour warranty so I never worried about them. I thought the same as you that greasable spindles were a better choice but the Non-greasable have been great.
