Deere Water Resistant Grease for 1025R

It should work for the whole tractor. I have not used the Deere brand grease, I use the Lucas x-tra heavy duty grease for everything that has a zerk or bearing. I can also get it at my local parts store too being that closest JD dealer is 25 miles away. The Lucas grease is rated at 560 degrees while the JD grease is rated at 260 and both are water resistant, I try to use the highest rated grease.

What does the rating of 260 deg pertain to? The dropping point? If so, I thought the JD polyurea grease had a 550 deg dropping point.
The poly urea is pretty water resistant in its own right.
 
The dropping point is when the grease goes from a semi-solid to liquid (i.e. "melting point"). The higher the rating, the better heat resistance of the grease. So for bearings that run fast and generate heat, the higher the dropping point, the better it is for them.
I know what dropping point is, I was asking if the that's what you were referring to. Where are you getting the idea that the JD grease has a dropping point of 260 deg (Celsius maybe).
The JD poly urea grease has a much lower washout percentage than the grease you listed. 10% vs 2% loss.
